USB to 4-Pin 5V–12V Boost Cable for Computer Cooling Fan
Power Your 12V Cooling Fan from Any USB Port
The OULLX USB to 4-Pin Cooling Fan Boost Cable is a smart, compact power adapter that converts a standard 5V USB output to a full 12V supply — giving your small 4-pin chassis fan the voltage it needs to spin at full speed. No more underpowered fans or sluggish airflow; just plug in and let the built-in boost board do the work.
Made in Mainland China.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will this USB to 4-pin boost cable work with any standard 12V computer cooling fan?
A: Yes — as long as your cooling fan uses a small 4-pin connector and is rated for 12V operation, this cable is compatible. The integrated boost board steps up the USB 5V input to a stable 12V output, giving the fan its required operating voltage.
Q: What is the difference between the 30 cm and 50 cm versions?
A: The only difference is cable length. Choose 30 cm for compact, close-proximity setups where cable tidiness is a priority, and 50 cm when you need extra reach — for example, when the USB port is further away from the fan's mounting location.
Q: Is the 22AWG tin-plated copper wire safe for continuous use?
A: Yes. 22AWG tin-plated copper wire is rated for the current levels involved in powering a single small 4-pin chassis fan. The tin plating also adds corrosion resistance, contributing to long-term durability during continuous operation.
