Long jumper suggestions

Other Miscellaneous
1

As a newbie, I call this the Baskin Robbins dilemma. There are so many options decision making is frozen. More correctly, the correct products hasn’t been found.

Start with PRT 12794 ROHS 6” Jumper Wire

  • The 20 wire flat cable with colored wires is perfect for my application.

  • The male pin connectors are likewise perfect.

NEED

  • 5’ length

  • No need for the female connectors. They can be used but are not needed.

Presumably, the manufacturer could simply make several longer ones. Suggestions?

Thanks for the help. The previous guidance helped immensely. M

An update to my own post: Another solution would be to identify the ribbon cable. That would permit customizing the needed length. Then the male pins could be added. The ribbon is out there somewhere… but I’ve not youet found it.

Hello MMR6172019, and thanks for writing.

Unfortunately we can not supply longer jumper wires that the 6" length we have now but we do carry 10 wire ribbon cables that are 15’ in length. Two of those run side by side might be an option for you.

We also carry IDC connectors you can crimp onto the ends of those cables that would allow you to plug them into a 2x5 row of header pins or a shrouded header on a PCB. Links to parts that might work for you are below.

  • - [[Ribbon Crimp Connector - 10-pin (2x5, Female)](https://www.sparkfun.com/products/10650)

    We don’t carry them, but you can also get the same type of connectors and ribbon cable that work with 26 conductors.](https://www.sparkfun.com/products/10650)](https://www.sparkfun.com/products/8506)](https://www.sparkfun.com/products/10647)

    Thanks Chris. Do you sell 1 x X shrouded headers? i.e. 1x1 shrouded headers

    Sadly we don’t have 1x1 shrouded headers.

    You might check with Digi-Key or Mouser for those.
