GPIO Ribbon Cable 2x8 IDC Cable - 16 pins 12 long

Looking to connect one thing to another? This GPIO Ribbon Cable is your go-to! Ideal for bridging contacts to another PCB. It comes in classic Adafruit Black, featuring a soft and flexible 16-line 0.05' ribbon cable. Both ends are equipped with keyed IDC connectors. It's a great fit for our GPIO Expander bonnet or RGB LED Matrices, allowing you to chain them together or extend the cable length. The cable is 12' long, with 16 pins (2x8) in 0.1' x 0.1' spacing and two sockets crimped on each end. Pin #1 is marked by a white stripe on the side.

Using this cable is easy. Just connect it between the two devices you want to link, like a GPIO Expander bonnet or RGB LED Matrices. Make sure to align the white - striped Pin #1 correctly when plugging it in. When handling the cable, be gentle as it's flexible and can be damaged if bent too sharply. For storage, keep it in a cool, dry place to prevent any moisture damage. If it gets dirty, you can use a soft, dry cloth to clean it. That's all you need to know to get the most out of your cable!
