Ok guys I am doing a few stunt packs and I wanted to do some gb-1 style [ribbon cables](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/ribbon-cable) but Im not worried about 100% correct just as long as there close to 3 inches wide and I found these for $2.99 each and there 20 wire cables and use 22AWG wires I emailed the company with no reply on how wide these are.So my question to the electronic experts is how wide do you think these are I know the gb-1 cables are made from 16AWG just a general idea would help out a lot!

I know that you said you wanted to do GB1 cables, but those are not them and are not very close, so why not just do a GB1 pack with a GB2 cable? It will at least be recognizable as a correct part that way. GB2 cables are really cheap and easily available as well.
