- Versatility: 3-pin and 4-pin PWM connectors, OmniJoin™ adapter for proprietary connectors and USB connection option
- NA-SC1 Sx2 Set: Two 3-way PWM splitter cables, ideal for simultaneous control of multiple fans
- Recommended retail price: NF-A6x15 models for EUR 16.90, NA-SC1 Sx2 set for EUR 9.90
NF-A6x15 Slim fan: Efficient cooling for confined spaces
With the introduction of the NF-A6x15, Noctua presents a 15 mm slim version of its popular NF-A6x25. This compact design is ideal for applications where standard 25 mm fans do not fit, such as in 3D printers or compact DIY projects. The NF-A6x15 is also ideal for industrial applications that require customized cooling.
The aerodynamic optimization of this fan includes Noctua’s Flow Acceleration Channels and AAO (Advanced Acoustic Optimization) frame. These technologies improve the airflow and at the same time minimize the noise development, which offers a decisive advantage in quiet applications. The models are available in versions with a 3-pin or 4-pin PWM connection. The PWM version offers infinitely variable speed control to automatically adjust the fan speed as required.
Noctua also offers special flexibility in the 5V versions with an OmniJoin™ adapter set. This allows the fans to be adapted to proprietary connections, which is particularly helpful when upgrading devices or replacing OEM fans. A USB-A power adapter cable even makes it possible to operate the fan via a power bank or USB hubs, which also makes it suitable for mobile applications.
NA-SC1 Sx2 splitter cable set: Practical solution for multi-fan setups
For users who want to operate multiple fans, Noctua has developed the NA-SC1 Sx2 set, which consists of two 3-way PWM splitter cables. By combining the two cables, a total of up to five fans can be connected to a single fan connector. This is particularly useful in desktop PCs or DIY projects where more ventilation is required without the need for an additional fan controller or expensive fan hub.
The NA-SC1 Sx2 is equipped with a high-quality glass fiber silicone jacket, which gives the cables a high degree of robustness and at the same time ensures flexibility for use in different environments. Whether in a PC case or for ventilation projects at home, this splitter cable set is a compact and versatile solution. The set is also compatible with the Noctua NA-FC1 fan controller and the NV-PS1 power supply, allowing it to integrate perfectly into existing Noctua configurations.
Conclusion: Versatile solutions for enthusiasts and professionals
The NF-A6x15 Slim fan and the NA-SC1 Sx2 splitter cable set from Noctua offer space-saving and powerful cooling options for various applications. While the NF-A6x15 fan is particularly impressive where space is a challenge, the NA-SC1 Sx2 set enables flexible control of multiple fans via a single connection. With prices starting at EUR 16.90 for the NF-A6x15 and EUR 9.90 for the NA-SC1 Sx2 set, Noctua is targeting users who value high performance and versatility with minimal noise levels.
