DarkSide CONNECT 3-Way Cable | 12" | 3-Pin - Type 10 (DS-0394)

The DarkSide CONNECT Type 10 is a 12" (30cm) 3-way cable that powers DarkSide CONNECT LEDs and rigid LED strips. It splits a 3-pin fan header on the motherboard or on a fan controller into 3 CONNECT plugs, so three CONNECT LEDs run from one connection. The cable is fully sleeved in DarkSide Jet Black, like the wires of the DarkSide CONNECT lights.

Modular power for DarkSide lights

Every DarkSide CONNECT LED and CONNECT rigid LED strip ends in a short sleeved wire with a female CONNECT connector, and the power cable is a separate part. You pick the cable that fits your build: a fan header, a Molex line of the power supply, a splitter for several lights or an extension. If you later want to power the light another way, you change only the cable and keep the LED.

Where this cable goes

Plug the 3-pin connector onto a free 3-pin fan header of the motherboard or of a fan controller, and the CONNECT plugs into the lights. The header powers all three lights, and on a voltage controlled header the header voltage sets the brightness of the dimmable DarkSide strips.

Short and long versions

DarkSide makes each CONNECT cable type in two lengths: the "s" types are 4" (10cm) long, the plain types 12" (30cm). This is the 12" Type 10; the same cable in 4" (10cm) is the Type 10s. When the light sits farther away, add a DarkSide CONNECT extension cable (Type 9, 9L or 9XL).

Notes

• DarkSide CONNECT LEDs and LED strips are sold separately.
• When several lights share one motherboard or fan controller header, check that the header can supply their total power.
• Many motherboards set their fan headers to 5V by default, which can be too low to light a DarkSide CONNECT strip, and UV strips in particular. Set the header to 12V in the BIOS for full brightness.
