Review on 🔌 Kalevel 120pcs Breadboard Jumper Wires Kit - Male to Female, Male to Male, Female to Female Jumper Wires - Long 20cm Ribbon Cable (M-M, F-F, M-F) by Chris Parrott

I bought these because I wanted to use a chip that is not breadboard compatible (ESP8266 and others) with my breadboard. Instead of building a breakout board, I now just use female-to-male cables: the IC pins go into the female connector, and I can place the male connector anywhere on the breadboard. What I like most about these cables is that they are reattached ribbon cables. You can clean them to use individually or leave them tied together for convenience. For example I used a connected strip (black-brown-red) with a medium sized potentiometer. The wires stay put so any time I need to use a potentiometer in my prototype I can just plug it in. The fact that the wires stay together makes it sturdier and less messy. Female-to-female cables are also useful for connecting pins from one chip to pins on another. In some cases this can save space on the breadboard. There are only standard connecting cables between male and male. The plastic end of each cable dangles a bit, but all connections are secure. These cables make a good starter kit or just a nice addition to your existing collection for a better choice of connection types.
