- What does a Y-splitter do for fans or pumps?
- It connects one fan or pump header to two devices, so both run from the same channel. Both receive the same control signal and share the current the header provides.
- Can I use it to run two pumps from one header?
- Only if the header can supply the combined current both pumps draw. Check your pump and motherboard or controller ratings first; a powered hub is safer for high-draw pumps.
- Will both fans run at the same speed?
- Yes. A passive Y-splitter sends the same PWM or voltage signal to both outputs, so the two devices follow one control channel together.
- How long is the cable?
- About 0.3 ft, roughly 9 to 10 cm. It is designed to sit close to the header or controller inside the case.
- Does it work with any fan connector?
- It is built for standard PC fan and pump connectors used in liquid-cooling loops. Match the connector type on your fans or pump before buying.
