GPIO Tube Ribbon Cable for Raspberry Pi Model B - 26pin 12 long

This extra-long and flexible GPIO cable is similar to the classic Model A or B Pi GPIO cable. It's 12 inches (300mm) long and runs through a tube, offering greater flexibility in all directions. However, it's not compatible with the Raspberry Pi Model B+. Note that these cables come with strain-relief clips, making the connector taller than regular GPIO cables. If you plan to fit the cable into a Pi enclosure, you might need to remove the top clips using diagonal cutters and gently pulling off the plastic.

Using this cable is easy. Just connect it to your Raspberry Pi Model B as you would with a regular cable. But remember, it won't work with the Raspberry Pi Model B+. The strain - relief clips on the cable make it more durable, but they can also be a problem if you want to put the cable in an enclosure. If that's the case, you can carefully use diagonal cutters to remove the top clips. As for maintenance, keep the cable away from sharp objects to avoid cuts. If it gets dirty, you can use a dry cloth to wipe it clean. With proper use and care, this cable will serve you well for a long time.
