FAQ
What systems is this fan power cable compatible with?
This cable is specifically validated for Super Micro Computer Systems including the SYS-1025W-URB, 1015B-3, 1015B-3B, and 1025C-3B models. It is designed to work with the fan headers and connectors on these systems, ensuring proper electrical and mechanical compatibility for CPU fan extensions.
What type of connectors does this cable have?
The cable features a 4-pin male connector on one end and a 4-pin female connector on the other end. This configuration allows it to extend between a motherboard fan header (male end) and a CPU fan connector (female end), maintaining the standard fan interface with all four pins for power, ground, tachometer, and PWM control.
How long is the cord on this fan power cable?
The cord measures 9 inches in length, providing sufficient extension for typical server and workstation chassis layouts. This length allows for flexible fan placement while minimizing excess cable that could impede airflow or complicate cable management within the system enclosure.
Does this cable support PWM fan speed control?
Yes, the cable supports full PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) fan control. All four pins are connected through the extension, maintaining the power, ground, tachometer feedback, and PWM control signals necessary for motherboard-based fan speed regulation and monitoring in compatible systems.
What is the primary use case for this power cable?
The primary use is extending CPU fan connections in Supermicro server and workstation systems where the standard fan cable length is insufficient. This occurs in larger chassis configurations, custom cooling setups, or when replacing damaged original cables, providing a validated extension solution that maintains proper fan operation.
Is this cable a standard accessory or replacement part?
This cable functions as both a system building accessory and a replacement component. It can be used in new system builds where additional fan reach is needed, or as a direct replacement for damaged or missing fan cables in supported Supermicro systems, restoring proper cooling connectivity with OEM-compatible specifications.
