Hi all -

I hit a snag in my current project and was hoping for some community help. I’m building a custom pistol for my dark ride, and it uses a GBFans light kit. However, the [bar graph](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/bar-graph) is a few extra inches away from where I needed to mount the board itself, so the “flat flex cable” won’t reach. I’ve never seen a cable like this, so I don’t know where to even begin looking for a longer one with the right number of pins.

I should note I have spent some time researching, and I tent to _think_ this is a 16pin flat flex cable, and I’m thinking I need something in the 4-6 inch range. I’m thinking something like this might work, but I feel like I’m guessing.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

Jake
