# Disk Drive Cable Extender

The DISK DRIVE CABLE EXTENDER is a product that came about out of necessity. After hasseling with the tight cable and cramped working conditions when changing drive cables on the Gold Card (works equally well on the Trump Card), and frequently pulling the Gold Card loose from the edge connector, we decided that what was needed was a small two-way cable that would extend the connector far enough to make it easy to work with and also reduce wear and tear on the GC socket.
