KEYBOARD EXTENSION

I have the old style keyboard (cable connection) that I use with an old iPad. They both have the (unable to find the correct designation) multipin (about 1" wide) connector. I am looking for an short extension cable (keyboard/female, iPad/male). I have searched around but to no avail. Does anyone know where I might find such a cable?

USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter Cable length Hello USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter Cable length question - long enough to reach the desk? If I put a 12.9" iPad Pro (2021 version - Gen 5) on a Magic Keyboard then the USB-C port will be half-way up on the right hand side - I think, from looking at the photos on the web-site. If I plug the above AV adapter into the ipad will the cable be long enough to allow the hub to lay flat on the desk or will it be dangling from the side of the iPad thus putting strain on the iPad's USB-C port? Or do I need a small extension cable? Thanks

Do an Amazon search for

30 pin dock connectors

30 pin to 30 pin dock connectors.

30 pin dock connector adapters.

I'll try again. My first attempt to find something on Amazon did not produce any old style cables. I will try again. Have a great day.

Thank you for giving me the proper name for this connector. That will certainly help me to look for it on the Internet.
