Splitter for two 3-pin fans

This EN-Labs cable splits one motherboard 3-pin header into two 3-pin connectors so you can run a pair of case fans from a single fan header. It supports both 12 V and 5 V fans and accepts 4-pin PWM fans, though the PWM speed-control function is not passed through. The 12-inch length gives enough reach for typical chassis layouts without excess slack. Builders who need more than two fans on one header will need a different solution.

Black net-jacket sleeve and 26 AWG copper

The cable uses 26 AWG copper conductors wrapped in a black net-jacket sleeve that resists abrasion and keeps the wiring tidy behind the motherboard tray. A single 3-pin TX3 female connector plugs into the board or a PSU adapter, while two 3-pin TX3 male ends attach to the fans. The sleeve adds a clean look and helps prevent snagging on sharp case edges during assembly.

No extra accessories or software included

The package contains only the splitter cable itself; there are no mounting clips, Velcro ties or configuration utilities supplied. Installation is purely plug-and-play, so no driver or firmware steps are required. Users who want cable-management hardware will need to source it separately.

Questions about this item

Does the 3-pin TX3 header on this splitter carry a PWM signal to both fans?

The cable is described as a PWM fan power cable, but the note states it works with 4-pin PWM fans with no PWM function, so the 3-pin TX3 connectors pass power only and do not carry a PWM signal.

What clearance is needed for the black net-jacket sleeving and the 12-inch cable run?

The splitter uses 22AWG copper conductors wrapped in a black net-jacket sleeve and is 12 inches long, so allow enough space for the sleeve diameter and the full cable length when routing between the motherboard header and the two fans.

How do you attach the splitter so the single female end connects to the motherboard and the two male ends go to the fans?

Plug the one 3-pin TX3 female connector onto the motherboard fan header or a 3-pin male lead from the power supply, then connect each 3-pin TX3 male connector to a fan; the step often missed is ensuring the female end is fully seated on the header before powering on.
