Ruth's sister DC5521 to 4-pin fan power adapter cable 29cm
A 29 cm adapter cable that powers a 4-pin PWM fan from a DC 5.5 × 2.1 mm supply, using 24 AWG oxygen-free copper conductors rated for 300 V and 80 °C
- Powers 4-pin fans from standard DC adapters via 5.5×2.1 mm jack
- 29 cm oxygen-free copper cable keeps internal routing tidy
- 24 AWG pure copper conductors rated for 300 V and 80 °C
- Light 20 g build adds negligible weight to chassis
- PVC-insulated 3.5 mm OD wire resists abrasion in tight spaces
DC5521 to 4-pin fan adapter cable
This 29 cm adapter connects a 4-pin PWM fan to a DC 5.5 × 2.1 mm barrel jack. It lets you run a chassis or CPU cooler fan from an external 12 V, 9 V or 5 V power supply instead of the motherboard header. The cable uses 24 AWG oxygen-free copper conductors with PVC insulation rated to 80 °C and 300 V.
Suits builders powering fans from wall adapters
Ideal for router heatsinks, external fan controllers or test benches where a mains-powered brick is more convenient than a motherboard header. Not suited for builds that need the motherboard to regulate fan speed through PWM signalling, because the barrel jack carries only power and ground.
Sustained load behaviour
The 17-strand 0.10 mm pure copper cores and 3.5 mm outer diameter handle continuous current within the 300 V rating without overheating. Voltage drop over the 29 cm length stays negligible for typical 12 V fan loads, so fan speed remains stable during long sessions.

Questions about this item
My fan has a small 4-pin connector — will the 4-pin end on this adapter fit it?
Yes, one end is a small 4-pin connector designed for standard chassis or CPU fan headers.
I want to power the fan from a 12 V DC barrel supply — does the 5.5 × 2.1 mm jack match common adapters?
The DC5521 end is a 5.5 mm outer, 2.1 mm inner barrel that fits typical 12 V, 9 V or 5 V power bricks.
After plugging everything in, how can I confirm the fan is receiving power correctly?
The fan should spin immediately; if it is a PWM model the speed will then respond to motherboard or controller signals.
