Title: Name of goldtouch cable anyone?
Post by: vorpal on Sat, 27 September 2014, 04:53:13

I have a goldtouch keyboard which I've broken into its two halves, but I would like to position the halves further apart than the cable connecting them will stretch. Anybody have any idea the name of the cable connecting the two halves so I could buy a new one.

Cheers.

I don't remember there being any connectors so you would have to do a bit of work.
Open one half of the keyboard and count the number of leads in there. Then order a length of cable with (at least) that many leads.

Thanks for the reply. I'll take it to mean there isn't some standard cable. I guess that shouldn't be too surprising.

Some of the wires in the cable seem to be of a different thickness to the others so it might be more complicated than just, a cable with the same number of leads.
