Splitter Cable for Dual Fans
The StarTech TX3SPLITTER connects two 3-pin TX3 fans to a single power supply connector. It lets builders run an extra CPU or chassis fan without adding a new header or upgrading the power supply. The 6.1 inch Y-cable suits PC and Mac systems where fan headers are limited. Multi-colour wires simplify identification during installation.
Thermals Noise and Power Draw
The passive cable adds no active components, so it draws no extra power and generates no noise of its own. Fan speed control and acoustic performance remain identical to a direct header connection. The 0.5 foot length keeps voltage drop negligible for typical 3-pin fan currents. RoHS compliance confirms restricted hazardous substances are absent.
Bundled Accessories and Software
The package contains only the splitter cable itself; no mounting hardware, adapters or software are included. The lifetime warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for the cable assembly. Buyers who need PWM 4-pin control or more than two fans per header will require a different solution. Environmentally friendly construction aligns with WEEE recycling expectations.

Questions about this item
How do I connect this splitter to my motherboard and two fans, and what is the common mistake to avoid?
Plug the single 3-pin TX3 female connector into the motherboard header, then attach both fans to the two 3-pin TX3 male connectors; the mistake is reversing the female and male ends, which leaves the fans unpowered.
What maintenance or replacement will this 6.1 in TX3 splitter cable need over time?
No scheduled maintenance is required; replace the cable only if the insulation frays, a pin bends, or the connectors become loose after repeated insertion cycles.
What is the first limit I will hit when running two fans continuously from this splitter?
The motherboard fan header's current rating is the limiting factor; drawing more amperage than the header supplies can cause voltage drop or trigger the board's protection circuit.
