This 2x13 GPIO cable is an essential accessory for connecting your Raspberry Pi Model A or B to the wider world of electronics!
Please take note: This cable is specifically designed for the original Model A or B Raspberry Pi. It is not compatible with later models, as they feature 40 GPIO pins.
Your Raspberry Pi® computer comes equipped with a row of 2x13 pin headers soldered onto it, which houses the GPIO (general-purpose input/output) pins. For electronics enthusiasts and hackers, these pins offer exciting possibilities.
By programming the Pi, you gain the ability to control these pins, set them to high or low states, transmit and receive I2C and SPI data, and access the 3V and 5V power rails.
If your intention is to extend these connections to another PCB, this cable is precisely what you need! It measures 6 inches in length and features 26 socket and wire sets, with pin #1 clearly marked by a red wire for easy identification.
