Purpose and Audience

The Darkside 3-Pin 50cm Fan Sleeved Cable is a short internal power lead built for PC builders who need to route a standard three-pin fan connector to a nearby motherboard header or fan controller. It suits compact cases and tidy cable-management jobs where excess length would create clutter.

Deciding Specification

The cable carries a three-pin fan connector at each end in a male-to-female arrangement, so it only works with fans and headers that use the three-pin layout. Builders whose fans or motherboard headers require a four-pin PWM connector cannot use this cable.

Capacity and Headroom

At 50 centimetres the cable comfortably bridges short runs between a chassis fan mount and a neighbouring header. It runs out when the distance exceeds that length or when a four-pin PWM signal is needed for automatic speed control.

Questions about this item

How much reach does the 50 cm cable add between a fan header and the fan?

The 50 cm length gives roughly 19.5 inches of extra reach so a 3-pin fan can sit farther from the motherboard header without tension.

What does the 3-pin connector limit compared with a 4-pin PWM header?

A 3-pin connector carries power, ground and a tachometer signal but lacks the fourth PWM wire so the motherboard can only vary voltage not duty-cycle control.

Will the 50 cm sleeved cable fit behind a standard motherboard tray?

At 50 cm the cable is long enough to route behind most ATX motherboard trays and still reach rear or top-mounted fans with slack for cable ties.
