Micro SD Card Extender - 68cm (26 inch) long flex cable

Stop fiddling with SD card sockets in the back of your latest gadget, and streeeeeeeeeetch out with a Micro SD Card Extender . This simple, but effective device gives you a long flexible cable, a psuedo Micro SD card on one end, and a matching micro SD card socket on the other. Plug in the card half and attach the socket wherever you like. This is a great hack for length constraints with 3D printers, single-board computers, data-logging kits and more. Get to your micro SD card in and out and safeguard against wear and tear.

The sockets are push-push. Insert the card in to lock, and press in again to release it.  There's a wee pictogram on the socket which shows the correct orientation. We used this with a Replicator 3D printer (using an adapter), various Feathers, and also a Raspbery Pi 3 Linux computer and it was speedy and error free, but it is a hack, so be aware that high-speed and high-noise environments may end up not working.

Note some computers use the mechanical insertion of the card to detect when to mount/unmount - in which case this extender will confuse the host because the card can be electrically removed without being mechanically removed. Best used with systems where you can 'force' a mount/unmount or if the card is only replaced on reboot.
