Downgrade GPIO Ribbon Cable for Pi A+/B+/Pi 2/Pi 3 - 40p to 26p

47 units will be available shortly.

Express post shipping available (product is on backorder)

Oof - you got a Raspberry Pi Model A+ or B+ that you want to have work with some old kit or plate or breakout or something and it uses the classic 26-pinout. Very frustrating, it is...unless you have this ingenious 'downgrade' GPIO cable. It has a 40-pin socket on one end, but only the first 26 pins have a cable and the other end matches any sort of Cobbler or PermaPi or what-have-you.

Cable is 6" long, and pin #1 is marked with a white wire. This cable is not compatible with the Raspberry Pi Model A or B - It's for the A+ and B+ only!

Available in slimming Adafruit Black - pin #1 is marked with a white stripe!

Note: The Raspberry Pi Model A+, Raspberry Pi 2 and Raspberry Pi 3 are also compatible with this product!
