Fan Splitter combined with PWM Adapter?

1. Hi, is this a combined Fan Splitter and PWM Adapter?
(this thing comes with the PHANTEKS PH-TC14PE)

2. Do you think its broken??

No. (The missing pin is what I presume you are questioning) If that pic belongs to a Y splitter and they are the 2 fan ends...
That is the tach feedback pin that is missing. When 2 identical fans are connected to the splitter, only one of them will provide feedback to the BIOS for RPM. If both try to send feedback and are out of sync, the BIOS will get confused.
