      Hi hoping for some help please.

      I'm just getting things ready for my first pi project and I would like to know if it is possible to buy cable extenders for type in the photo, maybe a double ended female socket cable,, if that exist?

      I'm wanting to enclose the lcd in a case with the electronics separate if possible.

      Also what is this kind of cable called?

      Thanks

                    @kc038 is it a power lead that connects onto jumper pins like those on the GPIO on the Pi? If so, then you can get male leads to extend it quite easily.

                      @douga I'm brand new to the world of Pi so I'm not too sure what that means (I'm learning) On the back of the monitor are 2 logic boards, each with x2 2 pin connectors running from the lcd to the boards, it's those cables I would like to extend.

                        Photo above is the boards still on the back of the lcd, connected top right and bottom right.

                        I've had a look at GPIO cable and they don't look the same as the ones it my photo? I forgot to mention I'll be connected the monitor to the Pi via hdmi to vga and using the monitors own power supply. I just want to move the electronics away from the lcd so I have space to mount the lcd in a case
