NV-FH2

Fan hub

8 channel PWM fan hub

Up to 60W total via barrel connector or 22W via the 4-pin input

Suitable for 5V, 12V, and 24V fans

Supports both 4-pin PWM and 3-pin connectors

Easy installation

With magnetic fixture and screw-holes

Make sure not to exceed fan header current limits. Do not place directly on HDDs.

The NV-FH2 is a flexible, premium-quality 8 channel PWM fan hub that is ideal for powering up to eight fans in home, office or multi-purpose ventilation applications using an external power supply with 5.5mm barrel connector such as Noctua’s optional NV-PS1.

It’s compatible with 5, 12, and 24V fans with 4-pin PWM and 3-pin connectors and supports up to 60W total power draw. While 3-pin fans can be speed-controlled by voltage adjustment, 5 and 12V PWM fans can be controlled by connecting the optional NA-FC1 controller to the NV-FH2’s 4-pin PWM input. Alternatively, the NV-FH2 can also be powered via this input (up to 22W total power draw), e.g. in PC environments where it can be run off motherboard fan headers with PWM control and RPM monitoring, or when used with Noctua 5V PWM fan models that include USB power adaptor cables that make it possible to run the NV-FH2 off power banks or standard USB power supplies. Thanks to its advanced protection and signal filtering features, the NV-FH2 not only runs safely with fans that produce high starting currents or transients, but also supports cascading multiple units for controlling up to 71 fans simultaneously.

Fixing the NV-FH2 is a breeze thanks to the integrated magnets that enable snap-on placement on steel surfaces, as well as the mounting tabs with screw holes that make it possible to fix it using screws or cable ties. The hub can either be run without the included clip-on cover for easy status monitoring via its white status LEDs or with the cover on for extra protection from dust, contact or mechanical impact.

Topped off with CE, UKCA and UL certifications, full compliance with all applicable safety standards as well as Noctua’s 6-year manufacturer’s warranty, the NV-FH2 represents the gold standard in highly robust multi-purpose splitter boards that work just as nicely inside a PC as in other ventilation applications.



Key features

5V, 12V and 24V fan support

Thanks to its high quality MOSFET transistors, the NV-FH2 supports 5V, 12V and 24V fans. This makes it a great choice not only for use with 12V PC case fans, but also for 5V-based home ventilation setups as well as 24V environments such as 3D printers or industrial applications.

Flexible power input

The NV-FH2 can be powered either via it’s 5.5mm (outer diameter) / 2.1mm (inner diameter) barrel connector input using a power supply such as the optional NV-PS1 or via the 4-pin PWM input. If both inputs are connected, the NV-FH2 will automatically take power from the barrel connector and only use the 4-pin port for PWM control and RPM monitoring.

Top cover

Unlike the NA-FH1, the NV-FH2 features a removable top cover that can be put on the hub for applications where the status LEDs should be hidden or where the PCB should be protected from dust, touch or mechanical impact.

LEDs for status monitoring

All fan ports of the NV-FH2 feature white status LEDs that light up if an RPM signal is being received and go off if the fan stops or fails. For more sophisticated watchdog functionality, the RPM signal of the fan connected to output port 1 is transmitted via the 4-pin input port and can be processed by PC motherboards or other devices such as single board computer systems (e.g. Arduino, Raspberry Pi, etc.).
