I require an FCC extension kit or cable for my LCD monitor, can someone please point me in the right direction as to where I can find one... Thanks
FCC sources
mouser.com or digikey.com
Both have illustrated online catalogs, and are willing to make a small sale. Use their index or search functions to find "Molex FFC".
You can get 0.5 mm or 1.0 mm pitch (you probably need 0.5) with many different numbers of traces. Get a cable and a vertical SMT connector. You will insert your existing cable end and the new cable end into the connector, and then push the lock in to hold them together. (Obviously, the conductor sides of the cables have to face each other.)
You can also get the same thing at some of the DIY projector stores, for more money.

I believe the connectors are on page 1001 of the mouser.com atalogue (give or take a page). Cheapest I've found.
mouser FFC parts
It would be easier to count the metal contacts if you look at the other side of that FFC. Then you can tell which is a trace and which is not.
It is a 0.5 mm pitch FFC. Assuming it has 20 traces, then you need these to make one 6" extender:
Mouser#..........Description.............................Cost
538-52559-2092...20 circuit vertical SMT ZIF socket.....$1.48
538-21020-0215...20 circuit FFC Jumper 6"...............$3.03
I have the May-July catalog, and they are on page 963. If you want to buy them from someplace else, the last 9 digits of the Mouser number = the Molex part number.
