Sourcing a longer cable for GPIO hackerboard?

Hi

Apologies if this has been covered earlier - I didn't find anything in a search. 

The supplied cable barely reaches out the top of the buddy board enclosure for the Core One and I was hoping to have it extend out to the side of the printer to be more accessible due to where I have the printer located.

Can anyone point me to a longer cable that would suit this? Alternatively, an extension cable would be fine too.

Thanks
Geoff

AFAIR it is ClickMate 4

See my GitHub and printables.com for some 3d stuff that you may like.

Thanks - I've ordered the 600mm 4-wire 1.5mm spaced from Digikey. Delivery is 5x the product cost eek. There are a few options on Aliexpress for 1/3 of the total price but I wasn't confident with their descriptions. Will post back here with my experiences on how this went.

Note that the Clik-mate pre-made cables are straight through and the GPIO hacker board cable is crossover. Simple to fix, but I haven't seen a source for pre-made crossovers.  RS is another source, maybe lower shipping...

Thanks for the tip on it being a crossover. I'll make that change once it lands. Cheers!
