Vszerda

Vszerda 2-Pack 5V 3-Pin RGB 2-Way Splitter Cable 1ft motherboard accessory

SKU CH-12QF-9FZNS

Splits one 5 V 3-pin AURA header into two for synchronous RGB control, includes a gender-changer pin, and supports up to 3.3 ft of lighting per channel

  • Splits one 5 V 3-pin header into two RGB channels
  • Includes a 3-pin male-to-male gender changer for flexible routing
  • 1 ft female-to-female cables keep RGB strips tidy
  • Designed only for 5 V AURA systems — not 12 V 4-pin RGB
  • Motherboard header typically supplies 15 W; keep total strip length under 3.3 ft

5V 3-Pin RGB Splitter Kit

This two-pack of Vszerda 5V 3-pin AURA RGB splitter cables adds a second addressable-RGB header to a motherboard that only provides one. Each 1-foot female-to-female lead lets you run two LED strips or fans from a single 5V 3-pin connector, and a male-to-male gender-changer pin is included for header orientation. The cables draw power directly from the motherboard header without any external supply.

Upgrade from a single 5V header

Builders whose board exposes only one 5V 3-pin RGB header can now drive two devices in sync without hunting for a controller box. The jump is worthwhile when you want matched lighting on a pair of strips or fans and your motherboard lacks a second native header. Do not use these splitters with 12V 4-pin RGB systems; they are electrically incompatible and will not function.

Sustained load behaviour

Under continuous use the splitter passes whatever current the motherboard header supplies, rated at a typical 5V/3A (15W) limit. If connected LED runs exceed roughly 3.3 ft total length or draw more than the header can deliver, the lighting will dim as a sign of overload. Reducing the number of attached devices restores normal brightness. Ensure the arrow mark on each plug aligns with the 5V pin on both the motherboard and the peripheral.

Questions about this item

What motherboard header does the 5 V 3-pin female connector plug into?

It plugs into a standard 5 V 3-pin AURA RGB header; align the arrow mark on the plug with the 5 V pin on the motherboard.

How do you connect a device that has a 3-pin female RGB plug?

Use the included 3-pin male-to-male gender changer adapter between the splitter's female port and the device's female plug.

When should the connected RGB strips or fans be shortened or reduced?

If the lighting dims, the motherboard's 5 V 3 A (15 W) header is overloaded; reduce the number of devices or keep total cable runs under 3.3 ft.
