30 cm 3-Pin Fan Extension Cable

This 30 cm cable extends a 3-pin fan connection inside a PC chassis. It carries a red UV-reactive sleeve that glows under ultraviolet light. The male-to-female layout links directly to a motherboard or controller header. It is built for custom cooling loops or standard air-cooling tidy-ups.

Builders adding UV accent lighting

The cable suits anyone extending a 3-pin fan run while keeping a red UV glow visible through a windowed case. It does not address builders who need a 4-pin PWM connector for automatic speed control. It also does not help users who require longer reach than the fixed 30 cm length provides.

3-pin connector limits speed control

The single specification that decides fit is the 3-pin power connector, which delivers voltage-only regulation without a PWM signal wire. Motherboards that rely exclusively on 4-pin headers for fan management cannot vary speed through this cable. Check the header type before ordering.

Questions about this item

What does the 3-pin fan connector on the DS-0242 cable actually limit?

The 3-pin fan connector carries power, ground and a tachometer signal but no PWM line, so fan speed is controlled by voltage only.

How much clearance does the 30 cm sleeved cable need inside a case?

The 30 cm length with a custom HD sleeve adds bulk, so allow a few centimetres of free space around the connector ends for routing.

Which way round do the male and female 3-pin plugs go on the DS-0242?

Plug the male end into the motherboard or fan-controller header and the female end onto the fan; reversing them leaves the fan unpowered.
