Can I use one of these to control 2 or more fans?

Instructions say yes, but it really has to do with the amount of power the fan motor draws, compared to the amount of power the switch is designed for. I played it safe and put in one for each fan.

I don't know why not, it is just a switch like any other. check the amp rating on the fans to make sure the total doesn't exceed the rating of the switch.

Not sure, but if the total fan electrical load didn't exceed the rating of the switch I don't see why you couldn't. Probably best to call Leviton tech support and check with them.

The specification states that it will control up to a 3 Amp fan. Check the amperage of the fan motors and add them, if the total is under 3 amps you should be OK. Most bathroom fans are well under one amp so it should run 2 or 3 without an issue.

Is there a solution out there that allows independent signal flow and speed control through fan splitter cables? I sure hope so..

No I wired both fans on....it was designedb for one...but I made two work. ..I just put a 20 amp fuse to prevent spikes in voltage

You can also join the 2 wires on the left if you have only 1 wire to connect to. Some fans have only 4 leads rather than 5.

That is an option, but the cooler works well with the two fans. It is the best cooler I have purchased. This is my forth. Good Luck

The fan controller is independent of the motherboard. It gets power from the large 4 pin molex(or two for redundancy, if I recall), and from there splits power to 6 independent fans through the small pin headers(same size as motherboard).

While I am not sure about that, I have used it with two. Funny I should get a question about this today as the fan on mine is giving out already and making a horrid noise and keeps crashing my machine :/

There are 2 connectors. You should really get a fan controller or something of the sort. Two fans won't cut it. I have 10 in mine but that is all personal preference.

Yes. In fact, I've already done this. I have two large ceiling fans in a single room, each equipped with a fan/light control. This allows me to operate each fan/light independently of the other.

I believe you can but they are grossly overpriced from what I remember (I researched this a while back). So, you might be better off getting a fan that comes with one - IMHO.

That should work fine unless it's a three way switch. Is that the only switch that controls the fan? If not, you must pick one switch to replace and bypass the other switch.

I wondered the same thing but you only need to use 1 to operate the fans. Silly design IMO but I love it and it works.

yes 3 of the fans have double power options . the larger 4 pin molex and the smaller 3 pin connectors. One fan is only smaller connector.

no you can not no fan controller does that you have to physically remove your fan and turn it around to get it to blow air in a different direction

This will work if your fans are low amps. If they are industrial type high amps it will break fast.

I have used two in the same room on two desktops and found no problem. Each one is calibrated to its own USB Pin. Just as two ceiling fans in the same room can have two different remotes, the same is true of the mice.

The communication to the fan is wireless (effectively the same as using a remote), so I'd think you could add as many controls as you want.
