ARGB 5V 3-pin extension cable

This 12-inch extension cable connects a 5V 3-pin ARGB device to a motherboard ARGB header. It is built for desktop builders who need extra reach between a fan or strip and the board. The cable carries addressable RGB signals only.

Double-end female with removable connectors

Both ends are female and a spare 3-pin connector is included in the pack. The removable design lets you switch gender on the fly for different header layouts. A printed arrow indicator shows the correct orientation during installation.

Check header voltage and pin count

Verify your motherboard provides a 5V 3-pin ARGB header, not a 12V 4-pin RGB header, before ordering. The cable is 12 inches long so measure the routing path inside your case. No other interface or power standard is supported.

Questions about this item

What does the 5 V 3-pin ARGB interface limit in practice?

It carries only 5 V addressable RGB signals and cannot power 12 V 4-pin RGB devices.

What clearance does the 20-inch cable with double-end female connectors need?

The 50 cm length fits between motherboard ARGB header and fan or strip; the removable 3-pin connector adds minimal bulk.

How is the extension installed and which step is often missed?

Align the arrow indicator on the connector with the motherboard header pin-1 mark before pressing the double-end female plug onto the 3-pin header.
