Downgrade GPIO Ribbon Cable for Pi A+/B+/Pi 2/Pi 3 - 40p to 26p

Got a Raspberry Pi Model A+, B+, Pi 2, or Pi 3 and want it to work with old 26 - pinout kits? This amazing 'downgrade' GPIO cable is your solution! One end has a 40 - pin socket, but only the first 26 pins are cabled. The other end fits any Cobbler or PermaPi. The 6 - foot long cable has pin #1 marked with a white wire. It comes in slimming Adafruit Black with pin #1 marked by a white stripe. Note: It's not for Raspberry Pi Model A or B, only for A+ and B+ and also compatible with Pi 2 and Pi 3!

Using this cable is easy. Just connect the 40 - pin end to your Raspberry Pi A+, B+, Pi 2, or Pi 3, and the 26 - pin end to your old 26 - pinout kit. Remember, it won't work with Raspberry Pi Model A or B. Keep the cable away from sharp objects to avoid damage. There's no special maintenance needed, but try to keep it in a dry place. That's all you need to know to get the most out of this cable!
