Needing an extension cable for an ApplePro keyboard. Just want to make it longer but do not know what one I need. Want it to connect to the cable from the keyboard to make it longer and then connect to the Mac. The AppleStore has 6 to 6 pin or 4 to 6 pin? Or is this not what I need?

Uhm, you would need a USB extension cable.

Like this: http://www.cablesnmor.com/usb-extension-cables.html

I don't know what you are referring to with 4 or 6 pins. Any links ?

4 pin or 6 pin would be for FireWire, not USB.

Any old USB extension will work fine for the keyboard.

Yea, I got confused (simple task) with the flat and square ends.

Your link gave me just what I need.

Much appreciated.......Rich

My Apple Pro keyboard came with a little USB extension cable. Has been very useful!
