Purpose and audience

The Darkside DS-1038 is a 5 V 3-pin D-RGB splitter cable designed for builders who want to run three addressable LED devices from a single motherboard header. It suits anyone adding accent lighting to a custom loop, a GPU back-plate or a set of case fans without using extra headers.

Build integration

The 30 cm jet-black sleeved cable reaches between typical header locations and peripheral mounts while keeping routing tidy. Four male-to-male adapters are included so each branch can connect directly to standard 3-pin D-RGB devices, freeing the builder from sourcing separate extension leads.

Sustained operation

Because the cable carries only the 5 V control signal and not the main power rail, it adds negligible resistance and stays cool even when all three connected strips run at full brightness for extended periods. The sleeving resists abrasion during repeated case maintenance cycles.

Questions about this item

What limits the current on this 5 V 3-pin D-RGB splitter when multiple strips run continuously?

The cable itself has no active current limit; total draw depends on the motherboard header rating and the power supply feeding it.

Does the 30 cm jet-black sleeved cable add noticeable heat inside a case running all day?

The passive wiring generates negligible heat; any warmth comes from the connected LED strips, not the splitter.

What motherboard header is required to use the included four male-to-male adapters with this DS-1038?

A standard 5 V 3-pin D-RGB header is needed; the adapters simply extend the connection to compatible strips.
