Extension cable for Apex I/O port?

[iReefer12]

I’m looking for an extension to be able to mount the breakout box further away from my apex, I’m not sure what kind of port it is, I tried ordering what I thought was correct and the plug is too large around. Some kind of DIN connector, but rather than order the wrong thing again, just wondered if someone had a link to the type of cable connector that they know works.

They didn’t really post a product on that thread. I think the OP ended up just cutting the cable and splicing in a new longer section. Trying to avoid that if I can.

Yest that is a straight pass the extension cable .. should match pin for pin

FWIW, that cable was out of stock, but this item worked perfectly.
