Hi there. Quick history: I pulled the housing off of a couple of MIDI keyboards that are specifically designed to hook up to a personal computer, MIDI to USB. (I basically created my own housing so they'd fit my space better.)
Having said that, I ran into a problem - the circuit boards need to be positioned in an area that are too far for some wires to reach. Here's what they look like (see below):
A. Side view:
B. Top view:
C. The area on the board the wire / cable plugs into (highlighted for clarity):
There's actually two questions:
1) What is this wire called? It's terrible that I ask a question about something I don't know the name of.
2) Since it cannot reach (to where I'd like it to go in relation to the keyboard), is there such a thing as an extension cord for this? That is, a male / female cord that I could extend this connection with?
Thanks for reading, any help would be appreciated!
