Does this exist?

I am looking for a longer Usb encoder to button cable (like this item, but longer, say 30-35cm) https://www.ebay.com/itm/10Pcs-Push-Button-Connection-Cable-For-Arcade-Game-NEW-FREE-SHIPPING-SET-LOT/222799542864?epid=4009923163&hash=item33dfe33a50:g:lloAAOSw8i9aXvNp
does anyone know where i can find them? I need a lot more wire (cant get the encoder close enough) for the cabinet layout i want.
thanks guys/gals -
Not sure if these are the exact ones you're looking for (the connectors can be 2.8mm or 4.8mm depending on the joystick/buttons) but ask them:

They would work, except they dont have the white (whatever its called) end to connect to the board... ill keep searching.. thanks
-
The term to describe the white end is "molex" or some other formulation like "molex style"
I hope that helps in your search.

its funny, i typed it then deleted it... molex is such a general term :) i didnt figure it permeated to these small things.. but thank you

could it be easier to take a longer usb cable for the encoder and place the encoder closer to the CP?
-
the usb cable to the Pi is not the issue... is that my cabinets have their buttons where they should be, but i want to move the USB encoder behind the screen where I am mounting my PI/display board etc. that way I can clean up the clutter under the buttons where the encoder currently lives. I make my cabinets out of clear acrylic, so it will go a long way towards tidying that up.
thanks -
It seems as if no one has any idea where to get these? lol. ive even asked some chinese sellers on banggood etc. they have to exist
-
So I am ok building my own cables (i guess haha) can anyone tell me what that little white connector is called? i know molex, but again, thats a super general temp most often used for pc power plugs. thanks
