Noctua NA-FH1, 8 Channel Fan Hub

The NA-FH1 is a high-quality, smartly-protected 8 channel PWM fan hub that allows up to eight PWM fans to be run and controlled simultaneously via a single PWM motherboard fan header or stand-alone controllers such as the optional NA-FC1. Non-PWM fans can be controlled by adjusting the input voltage. Supporting both 12V and 5V fans with 4-pin PWM and 3-pin connectors, the NA-FH1 is highly flexible and suitable both for PC environments and other 12V- or 5V-based applications. It can be powered either via its S-ATA input (for 12V fans, up to 54W) or 4-pin PWM input (for 5V and 12V fans, up to 24W), both of which are protected against overcurrent with a self-resetting fuse for maximum safety even in case of short-circuits on the connected devices or cables. The two ports can also be used concurrently with the device, automatically taking power via S-ATA and exchanging RPM and PWM signals via the 4-pin interface. Status LEDs allow for easy monitoring and thanks to its magnetic fixture, installing the NA-FH1 inside a PC case or on any other steel surface is a breeze. Topped off with CE, UKCA and UL certifications and full compliance with all applicable safety standards, the NA-FH1 is a safe, dependable premium choice for powering and controlling up to eight fans. Up to 54W via S-ATA and 24W via 4-pin When powered via it’s S-ATA interface (for 12V fans only), the NA-FH1 can run fans with a combined power draw of up to 54W. When using the 4-pin PWM input only (for 5V or 12V fans), the maximum power draw can go as high as 24W. Caution: Do not place directly on hard disk drives, keep at least 5cm distance. When powering via the 4-pin input from a PC motherboard, please check your motherboard manual for the maximum current of the fan header and make sure not to exceed it. Controlling high-power fans safely If both its S-ATA and 4-pin input ports are connected, the NA-FH1 will automatically draw power via S-ATA and use the 4-pin port for PWM control and RPM monitoring only. This way, it is possible to control fans with high power consumption safely without risking damage to the motherboard. RPM and status monitoring The NA-FH1 transmits the RPM speed signal of the fan connected to the first port to the motherboard for speed monitoring. For additional watchdog functionality, all ports feature status LEDs that light up if an RPM signal is being received and go off if the fan stops or fails. Suitable for 12V and 5V fans Supporting both 12V and 5V (4-pin power input only) operation, the NA-FH1 not only works great with 12V PC fans, but is also an elegant solution for running multiple Noctua 5V fans, many of which include USB adaptor cables that can be used to connect the NA-FH1 to mobile phone power supplies or power banks. Easy installation with magnets The NA-FH1 features four strong neodymium magnets on the rear side, which allows it to simply snap into place on any magnetic surface such as inside steel PC cases. On non-magnetic surfaces such as aluminum PC cases, the flat rear side of the device makes it possible to easily fix it with double-sided tape or velcro tape. Safety certifications Unlike many cheap fan hubs, the NA-FH1 has been carefully tested for product safety and EMC compliance. Carrying CE, UKCA and UL certifications and meeting all applicable standards (EN 62368-1, EN 55035, EN 55032, UL-507), it is a safe, quality device through and through.
