  • Product typeRGB Hub
  • Overall length1 ft (0.3 m)
  • Key featuresExtend the rare RGB interface on your motherboard to four Al
  • 12V 4-pin AURA RGB only — not compatible with 5V 3-pin systems

  • Keep total RGB runs under 3.3 ft to avoid dimming from overload

12V 4-Pin RGB Splitter Cable 2-Pack

This pack contains two 1-foot cables that split a single motherboard 12V 4-pin RGB header into two female ports. Each cable includes a male-to-male gender changer adapter for flexible connectivity. The product is designed for builders adding multiple 12V AURA-compatible LED strips or fans to a system. It does not support 5V 3-pin addressable RGB devices.

Thermals Noise and Power Draw

The splitter draws power directly from the motherboard RGB header, which typically supplies at least 12V/1A or 12W to connected devices. No external power supply is required or supported by the cable itself. Connected LED runs should stay under 3.3 ft to avoid voltage drop. If lighting appears dim, the header may be overloaded and devices should be reduced.

Build Quality and Daily Use

The female-to-female layout with an included gender changer lets you extend or adapt existing 12V 4-pin cables without soldering. Arrow markers on each plug must align with the 12V pin on both the motherboard and the RGB device for correct operation. The short 1-foot length suits tight routing inside a case but limits placement distance from the header.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 12V 4-pin RGB splitter and what is the common mistake?

Align the arrow on each plug with the 12V pin on the motherboard header and on every RGB device; the most common error is reversing the connector so the 12V line feeds the ground pin.

What maintenance or replacement will the splitter need later?

The cable has no moving parts or firmware; inspect the connectors for dust or bent pins if lighting becomes erratic, otherwise no scheduled replacement is required.

What limit appears first under sustained use?

The motherboard header is rated for about 12 W total; if combined RGB draw exceeds that, attached strips or fans will dim, signalling the power limit has been reached.
