GPIO Extender Cable for Raspberry Pi Model A/B - 26pin 12 long

A 12" (300 mm) GPIO extender cable for the original Raspberry Pi Model A and B. One end plugs onto the Pi's 26-pin header, and the other provides a boxed male header for connecting Pi plates and HATs designed for the 26-pin layout.

Warning: This cable is not compatible with the Raspberry Pi Model B+ or later 40-pin models.

Key Features

  • 26-Pin Connectors – Matching connectors on both ends
  • 12" (300 mm) Length – Extends GPIO access away from the Pi
  • Boxed Male Header – Accepts Pi plates and expansion boards
Note: The cable length adds resistance, capacitance, and noise to signal lines. Some I2C devices (particularly LCD plates) may not work reliably, and high-speed SPI (1 MHz+) may experience signal ringing.

Package Contents

  • 1× 26-pin GPIO extender cable (12" / 300 mm)
