The CORSAIR iCUE LINK 4-way splitter is a great way of expanding your iCUE LINK system. This splitter is mainly used for end-point devices (components that have just a single iCUE LINK port, for example, the XC7 RGB Elite).
The CORSAIR iCUE LINK 4-way splitter essentially works as a USB hub, where it splits the signal out into four different ports.
The iCUE LINK 4-way splitter can be mounted directly to an iCUE LINK System hub with an active connector, or with an iCUE LINK cable.
The 4-way splitter is especially handy when you have a system with a large amount of devices and multiple Hydro X Series components. In the above picture we have a system with two iCUE LINK System hubs, and a single 4-way splitter.
In this system there are a total of 16 QX120mm fans and three Hydro X Series LINK components. We have split them out on the system hubs as following:
This system is considered very high-end and most users will not use this many components in a single build, but the 4-way signal splitter also gives users with less components much more flexibility when finishing up their iCUE LINK systems.
