     The Servo Motor Extension Cable 30cm is a 30cm long, 3 wire extension cable fitted in between when the servo motor's own cable does not reach the receiver or the servo driver board. On one end there is a 3 pin male connector into which the female socket of the servo cable is plugged, and on the other end a 3 pin female connector that plugs into the receiver, the servo driver board or a pin header.

     The cable is a side by side cable made of black (GND / -), red (+) and white (signal) wires; the pin order is the same at both ends, so the connection order does not change when the servo cable is plugged in between. The pin pitch of the connectors is 2.54mm; it is used with Futaba and JR compatible 3 pin servo connectors and common servo motors such as SG90, MG90S, MG995, MG996R, MG946R, MG945 and S3003. No soldering is needed, it is plug and play.

     It is used to bring the control surface servo in the wing of an RC airplane to the receiver in the fuselage, the end joint servo of a robot arm to the servo output on the board, and the moving servo of a pan tilt mechanism to the fixed board.

Key features:

     Male - female ends: The servo's own cable plugs into the male end and the female end sits on the 3 pin output of the receiver or servo driver board; the servo cable is extended without cutting.

     Futaba / JR fit: The 3 pin connectors with 2.54mm pin pitch fit the Futaba and JR type servo connections used on RC receivers and servo driver boards.

     Colour coded wires: Black GND, red +, white signal; the connection direction is easy to see and a reversed plug is noticed while plugging in.

     Solderless plug and play: When changing a servo or taking the mechanism apart, there is no need to cut or solder cables.

Usage information:

• Plug the servo cable into the male end of the extension with the colours aligned (brown or black wire to black, red to red, orange or yellow wire to white).
• Plug the female end of the extension into the servo output of the receiver or servo driver board; the black wire must come to the GND (-) pin of the board.
• Do not leave the cable tight on a moving mechanism; fix it with a cable tie or sleeve to keep the connector from coming loose with vibration.

Areas of use:

•  RC airplane wing and tail control surface servos
•  RC helicopter servo connections
•  Drone camera and gimbal servos
•  Robot arm joint and gripper servos
•  Pan tilt camera mechanisms
•  Model car steering servos
•  Model boat rudder servos
•  Humanoid and four legged walking robots
•  Distant connections between a servo driver board and servos
•  Extending 3 pin sensor modules with the pin order GND, +, signal
   

Precautions:

•  Check the colour order before plugging in. In a connector plugged in reversed the red (+) wire stays in the middle, so signal and GND swap places and the servo does not work; a connector shifted by one pin on a pin header puts the + supply on the signal or GND pin and can damage the servo.
•  The cable has a thin gauge; with large servos drawing high current do not join several extensions end to end, the voltage drop on a long cable reduces the servo's power.
•  Do not remove the connector by pulling the cable; hold the connector housing, otherwise the wire can break off the pin.
•  When a long signal cable runs next to motor and power cables the servo can jitter; route the cable away from power cables.
