Help with finding a extension wire for headlight.

[Brew61]

Ok the wife got a front rack for her bike. The problem is that her head light is mounted right on top of her front suspension forks and the rack now blocks it. I pulled the slack out of the cable that is run through her down tube and it is to short to reach to where I want to mount it on the front of the rack. Could someone tell me what this connecter is called and if they know if I can buy an extension for it. I mean I could just cut the cable and build an extension but I rather not if I can just buy like a short extension.

Thanks
Bruce

China shipping is a mess! I prefer customizing my extensions by soldering in the appropriate extension.
many after market, often Julet versions are more cheaply made. But I do have a few julet and no serious issues. I just prefer Higo quality.

Shorter Amazon Prime fulfilled,

Another vote for Amazon. Check the estimated delivery date to verify you are working with a state side dealer. Should only take a couple days to get one. AliExpress delivery times can be pretty unpredictable. I go there as a last resort when I can't find what I'm looking for anywhere stateside. Yes, call me impatient if you like....

Far worse than ever now. No batteries from Jenny. Two of my trusted sources, usually 2 weeks are listin late June and July. But there no sign of the zero covid policy letting factories resume. Shanghai residents can go out for groceries now. 2 hours a day. Sucks...

Yes you are correct with trying to get something out of China right now. Next to impossible with their lock downs. I did find one on Amazon.ca that is shipped local. The only thing the shortest they offer is 80 cm. But there is a large down tube so plenty of room to stuff the extra down inside and hide it.

Thanks everyone for their input and help. The main thing was I didn't even know what that connector was called or size, now I know it makes things a lot easier to find.

No Amazon.ca only had one listing that was local that I could find. Amazon.com had more but then there was shipping charges to ship to Canada.
7" would of been to short, I needed 12-14" (40cm). It seems like most are 20 cm and then jump to 80 cm. I did find a 40 cm. on Aliexpress but then again I would be waiting till next summer for it if I was lucky.

No big deal, like I said there is a very large down tube to hide it in. Maybe when or if things get back to normal I can always order a shorter one.

Thanks

57cm for this one. 1-day ship inside of the USA. Not sure how that translates to delivery north ... or if it does at all.
