Details
This Y adapter runs two standard 4-pin PWM fans from the small mini 4-pin fan header of a graphics card. The mini 4-pin connector plugs onto the card header, and the two standard 4-pin PWM connectors take the plugs of your fans, so the card can power and control both fans, for example fans that cool a water cooled card or an aftermarket heatsink.

Graphics card fan header to standard fans
Many graphics cards use a small mini 4-pin connector for their fans. This adapter converts it to two standard 4-pin PWM fan connectors, so you can use normal case fans on the card and let it control their speed.
One speed signal
One branch carries all four wires (ground, 12V, speed and PWM); the other branch has three wires without the speed wire. Both fans get power and the PWM signal, and the card reads the speed of the fan on the four-wire branch only.
