CORSAIR RGB LED extension cables Compatability

Hello again community.

 

I hope this is the right part of the forum to post this in.

 

But does annyone know if the led extension cables that come with the "CORSAIR RGB LED Lighting PRO Expansion Kit" are compatible with the led cables on the ML 120mm RGB series of fans?

 

Thanks for replies

 

Best regards/ Erik

Hi buddy.. nope, not the same i am afraid...

 

but you could give DevBiker a shout on here for further advice.. he makes them and and has done guide on it

Hey there ... check my signature for how to build them yourself.

Or, if you are interested, contact me via PM and we can discuss getting you some made.

What I personally do is just use cheap 1-pin-cables (for arduino and raspberry) from Ebay. As they come with 1-pin-connectors you can easily plug them into your Hub/Node/fan cable ...

DevBikers way is Foolproof.. uses the correct 'latched' connectors ;) :)

While this "works", there are a couple of potential issues.

1) They aren't keyed so you have to be careful to make sure that you hook them up correctly. Otherwise, you can kill your devices.

 

2) They don't have latches so it's possible for them to come disconnected.

 

3) The wiring used for this is usually something like 30 AWG. It's pretty thin. For longer runs, you may have a concern with voltage drop due to increased resistance.

 

If you want to make your own cables, the correct part numbers are listed in the post in my signature.
