This 6" (15cm) cable has two 26AWG conductors with a 2.5mm-pitch 2-pin female JST XH-style connector. The spacing is very close to 0.1", which means this connector will work with 0.1" male header pins and standard perfboards and solderless breadboards. The other ends of the wires are unterminated; they can be cut to length to match your application. The red and black wires are twisted together to reduce noise.

## Description

This 6" (15cm) cable has two 26AWG stranded conductors with a 2.5mm-pitch 2-pin female JST XH-style connector. The spacing is very close to 0.1", which means this connector will work with [0.1" male header pins](https://core-electronics.com.au/0-100-2-54-mm-breakaway-male-header-1x40-pin-straight.html) and standard perfboards and [solderless breadboards](https://core-electronics.com.au/prototyping/breadboards.html). The other ends of the wires are unterminated and are stripped to expose approximately 5 mm of tinned copper; they can be cut to length to match your application. The red and black wires are twisted together to reduce noise.
