InLine Fan Adapter Cable Y-Cable 3pin Molex female / 6x 3pin Molex male

InLine Fan Adapter Cable Y-Cable 33436 allows connecting up to six 3-pin fans to a single motherboard fan header. The cable transmits the tachometer (speed) signal from the first fan while supplying power to the remaining fans. Cable length from the splitter to each fan connector is approximately 15 cm; total layout supports tidy internal cable routing in PC cases.

Advantages

The adapter provides a compact solution to power multiple 3-pin fans from one motherboard connector without requiring additional controllers. It keeps the fan speed signal available from the first connected fan and is available in a multicolour finish for easier identification. The short 15 cm branch lengths simplify routing inside standard PC cases.

Suitable for

• Expanding a single motherboard 3-pin fan header to power several case fans
• Small to mid-size PC builds where fan routing distance is limited
• Situations where only one fan speed signal is required by the motherboard

Key specifications

• Connector type: 1 x 3-pin female to 6 x 3-pin male (Molex-style)
• Cable branch length: approx. 15 cm per fan connector
• Product colour: multicolour
• Manufacturer: InLine, MPN: 33436, EAN: 4043718149780

How to use

Connect the single 3-pin female end of the Y-cable to a compatible 3-pin motherboard fan header. Plug up to six 3-pin fans into the male connectors. Ensure the first fan (connected closest to the motherboard header) is the one whose speed you want reported to the system. Route the branches to each fan location and secure cables to avoid obstructing airflow or interfering with moving parts.

Recommendations

Verify that the combined current draw of all connected fans does not exceed the maximum current rating of the motherboard fan header. If total power consumption is close to or exceeds the header specification, use a powered fan hub or connect fans to separate power sources to avoid damaging the motherboard.
