ModMyMods 5-Pin Female RGBW LED Strip 2-Way Splitter Cable - Black (MOD-0257)

This 2-way splitter cable runs two RGBW lighting parts from one 5-pin RGBW header. The single 5-pin female connector plugs onto the header of the motherboard or controller, and the two 5-pin female connectors on the other side take the LED strips, fans or other lighting parts. All of them then show the same colors and effects.

More lighting on one header

Motherboards and controllers have only a few RGBW headers. The splitter shares one header between two parts, so you do not have to choose between a strip and a fan when the headers run out.

Same effect on every output

All two outputs are wired in parallel to the input, so every part on the splitter follows the same color and effect as set in the software of the motherboard or controller.

Female on all ends

All connectors of the splitter are female. To join an output to a lighting part that also ends in a female plug, use the ModMyMods Male to Male RGBW Connector (MOD-0260); it pushes into a female end and turns it into a male plug.

Compatibility

The splitter fits the 5-pin RGBW connection (red, green, blue and a separate white channel) used by RGBW controllers, RGBW LED strips and motherboards with a 5-pin RGBW header.

Part of a matched set

ModMyMods makes 5-pin RGBW extension cables in 50 cm and 1 m, 2-way, 3-way and 4-way splitter cables and a male to male connector, all in black with the same connectors, so they can be combined in one build.

Technical data

Notes

• All parts on the splitter share the current of the one header; check the rating of the header or controller channel before you connect many LEDs.
• The arrow on each connector marks its orientation; line it up with the arrow or pin 1 mark of the header or the other plug.
• 5-pin RGBW, 4-pin RGB and 3-pin addressable RGB (ARGB) connections are different systems; plug 5-pin RGBW parts only into 5-pin RGBW headers.
