5V ARGB splitter for motherboard headers

This 1-to-3 adapter cable splits a single +5V 3-pin digital addressable RGB header into three JST SM 3-pin male connectors. It lets builders run multiple ARGB fans or LED strips from one motherboard connection. The pack contains two identical cables each measuring 11.8 inches.

Black 30cm cables with female-to-male ends

Each cable uses a black jacket and a 1 female 3-pin to 3 male SM 3-pin layout. The 11.8 inch length suits typical chassis routing without excess slack. Connectors are keyed for 5V addressable RGB only and will not fit 12V 4-pin RGB headers.

Check header voltage and device connectors first

Your motherboard must expose a +5V 3-pin addressable RGB header; 12V 4-pin headers are not supported. Every ARGB fan or strip you attach needs a matching 5V 3-pin SM connector compatible with 5050 or 3528 LEDs. Builders needing more than three branches per header should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

Does the 5 V 3-pin ARGB header on my motherboard limit how many addressable devices I can daisy-chain through this splitter?

The splitter draws power from a single +5 V 3-pin ARGB header and distributes it to three JST SM 3-pin male connectors; total current must stay within the motherboard header rating, typically around 2–3 A.

What clearance do I need behind the motherboard tray to route the 11.8-inch cables to three ARGB fans or strips?

Each cable is 11.8 inches long and 0.4 inches wide, so allow at least 12 inches of free run plus room for the three male plugs to sit side by side.

In what order do I connect the female 3-pin end and the three male SM 3-pin ends so the addressable signal reaches every device?

Plug the single female 3-pin connector into the motherboard +5 V ARGB header first, then attach each ARGB fan or strip to the three male SM 3-pin plugs; reversing the order breaks the data line.
