Details
The 4-Pin PWM Power Distribution PCB 5-Way Block runs five PWM fans from a single 4-pin fan header of the motherboard. It is a tidy solution for modders, water cooling builders and other power users with many fans in a system or server: one 25 cm cable goes to the motherboard header, and five 4-pin headers on the small black board take the fans, so you need no chains of Y splitters.

One header, five fans
Why use clumsy Y splitters that add to cable clutter when you can have one clean point to distribute power to all your 4-pin fans? Plug the input cable onto a 4-pin fan header of the motherboard or fan controller and connect the fans to the board. All fans get the PWM signal of that header, so they speed up and slow down together. One header is red and marked cpu_0, the other four are marked fan_1 to fan_4, and a capacitor sits on the board next to them.
Mount it anywhere
The board comes with a pre-installed black mount rail and a Velcro strip, so you can mount it almost anywhere in the case, including the hidden places behind the motherboard tray where modders like to route cables. The input cable has silver gray wires, and the black PCB and connectors keep the hub discreet.

Notes
- All fans take their power from the one header the hub is plugged into; keep the total current of the fans within the rating of that header.
- The hub comes in a 5-way (MOD-0086) and a 4-way (MOD-0087) version. This listing is the 5-way version.
