I have posted this on Repair forum with no response so I thought this forum was the right place.
The shown cable assembly (2x20 pins) is used in Keysight Fieldfox to connect the front panel to the main board.
It is way too short (1.5") such that even re-assembly by itself is a hard job.
Does anybody know what type of connector this is?
I would like to buy a longer cable assembly that fits so that it would let me to open the device
and still be able turn it on.
Yes, I know one dirty way is to cut all 40 wires and solder extension wires to them but I want to avoid that as much as possible
I tried my best on Digikey but could not find anything similar in size that fits into the male on board connectors
The "fancy" part in the middle of the female connector is misleading because the male connector is just made of simple pins
that go into the holes. so just having the right size would be enough, does not need to match exactly the shape.
any help is highly appreciated
