The 500 Series Extension Jig Bundle is a complete set of PCB's, parts and components required to build an extension jig for testing and calibrating 500 series modules. The 12" long ribbon cable makes it easy to lay your module on a flat surface. The main PCB is long enough that it can easily be inserted into a rack slot with modules on both sides. The finger notches make removal very easy. The additional switch and resistors are included for CMRR calibration, which is required when building a number of our modules. The instructions for this calibration are written in the silk screen on the side of the main PCB. This will take the questions and guessing out of this sometimes intimidating task. You can now add 1 or 2 feet to the standard 1 foot ribbon cable. The add-on option is below, near the bottom of this product page. This is a complete kit that contains the following 14 items: (1) CAPI 51x-EXT-Rack Rev A PCB (1) CAPI 51x-EXT-Mod Rev A PCB (1) Xicon 3k9 .25W 1% MF Resistor (2) Vishay 1k .4W 0.1% MF Resistors (1) Kingbright Red 2mm Lighthouse LED (1) Toneluck 4PDT Mini Pushbutton Switch (1) E-Switch Dark Gray Mini Pushbutton Switch Cap (2) Omron XG4M-2030-T, 20 Position 0.1" Female Receptacle (With Strain Relief) (1) Omron XG4C-2034, 20 Position 0.1" Male Shrouded Right Angle Header (1) Omron XG4C-2031, 20 Position 0.1" Male Shrouded Straight Header (1) Amphenol 12" Long, 20 Conductor, 28AWG Robbon Cable (1) Oupiin 30 Pin Card Edge Connector

The pics below are of my proto build. They will aid in making sure you get it built correctly. The only thing that is different is the ribbon cable. The ribbon cable supplied with the kit is all gray with one edge conductor red. Just align the red conductor with the arrows on the female receptacles. The red conductor on your cable will be in place of the tan conductor on my multi-color ribbon cable.
