Plug more than one fan?

I have one four pin plug on my mother board to plug the power supply fan but
my pc case has also its own fan. So I have to plug more than one fan on the
same plug.

Is there a kind of splitter selled somewhere to plug more than one fan? What
do people do when they have more than one fan?

Thanks

It's three pins, sorry...
In documentation, it's named "FM/FC connector".
I have one my power supply and one comming from my fan.

I've ordered a "3PIN TO 4PIN MOLEX CONVERTOR / ADAPTER" so I'll be able to
plug my case fan to the power supply and leave the motherboard's plug free
for the power supply's FM/FC connector.

Thank you for your comments :-)
It's been a great help.

The third wire is for a speed sensor. You can run as many fans as you want by splitting the 12 volts, but most motherboards will monitor the speedof only 2 fans.

Actually, most M/Bs will monitor power supply, CPU and system fans.....it
makes three of them....
