IDE 40-Pin Male to Female Hard Drive Extension Cable 6 inch Flat Ribbon Cord for 3.5" PATA HDD (39 Pin + 1x Empty)

Q: I need a 40 pin 2 1/2" long, flat ribbon to hook up an internal female to female HD.

It's not correct cable you want. This is Male to Female cable.

Q: Is it compatible with raspberry pi?

Yes, it works with my Pi devices (3 & 4). I use it to extend the environmental board away from the processor.

Q: Will this work with an internal floppy dive?

Count the pins on your floppy drive. If the drive has 39 pin positions and one empty slot then this cable should work for you. Some internal floppy drives need less pins to work so be sure of the number of pin positions.

Q: Does this work on Zip drives?

Yes it will work on internal Zip Drives only.

works fine

I had to get this extension to run to a CF card reader which has my Windows 95 on it instead of the ancient IDE hard drive from 1997.

Excellent and inexpensive and works!

I recently rebuilt my older gaming system that uses IDE hard drives cables into a new tower case and found my old cables would not long enough to reach the drives in their new location... I found this nice little extension cable and it solved all my issues! Its very we built and properly keyed to prevent incorrect installation and worked great for both my hard drives. I only need a few inches of extra cable and this gave me double that. Its a very effective product that does what its advertised to do. Thumbs up!

Perfect for rear mounted CF to IDE adapters

I bought this because the IDE cable couldn't reach the adapter mounted at the back of the PC. This worked perfectly and I was able to reach and fit into the IDE port on the adapter.

Does the job

I needed an extension IDE cable so I could connect an older IDE drive to a cloning device (the molex and IDE ports were too close). This did the trick.

Good quality IDE ribbon cable

I bought this for my Vintage PC project. It works, but unfortunately I missjudged the length and could not use it in my final project, but that is not the fault of the seller.

Hard drive is recognized but can't be read from.

Using this extension adapter my hard drive is recognized but it can't be read from. If I remove it and connect directly my hard drive works fine. So I am not sure if this item is defective or just poorly designed.

Did the job

I needed a hookup connection for some older computer parts. This fit perfectly and did the trick.
