C2G 27078

Overview

The C2G 27078 is an adapter cable designed to convert a 3-pin fan connector to a 4-pin power plug with a pass-through feature. It allows you to power a 3-pin fan from a 4-pin peripheral lead inside a desktop computer, making it a practical solution for builders, gamers, and IT technicians dealing with mismatched connectors during system builds, repairs, or upgrades. Measuring six inches in length, this cable fits neatly behind drive cages or along case edges without obstructing airflow.

Connectivity and compatibility

This adapter cable bridges the gap between 3-pin fan connectors and 4-pin peripheral power leads commonly found in desktop PCs and servers. Its pass-through design allows you to power a 3-pin fan without sacrificing an additional 4-pin socket, which is useful for maintaining multiple fan connections or other peripherals. It works seamlessly with standard CPU and case fans, making it a versatile addition to your system’s cooling setup.

Installation and setup

The cable’s six-inch length provides enough reach to route it discreetly behind drive cages or along case edges, helping to keep your build tidy and airflow unobstructed. The sturdy PVC jacket protects the cable during installation, reducing the risk of damage from sharp edges or tight bends. Simply connect the 3-pin male end to your fan and plug the 4-pin connectors into the motherboard or power source, and you’re ready to go.

Ideal uses and environments

This adapter is well suited for PC builders and technicians who need to integrate 3-pin fans into systems with 4-pin power connectors. It fits well in custom desktop builds, server environments, and upgrade projects where maintaining clean cable management and reliable fan power is essential. Its durable construction and lifetime warranty make it a dependable choice for long-term system maintenance and performance.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
