Assuming that the ribbon cable is standard - you could consider adding TWO IDC connectors, side by side. Then slice the cable through between them. Then add a standard extension cable to link the two. Indeed if one of the two is male, the other female - the extension can be removed if the thing is relocated to where the extension isn’t needed - or a longer one is needed.
I confess to having done this sort of mod several times, myself. It’s also quite an easy way of sticking a protocol analyser/sniffer between the two and/or modifying the data that is sent on its way. Or adding an additional sensor (even of a different type) and converting its output to something suitable.
Lots of people use them for something similar. Obviously, the situation changes once the lines are power lines and not signal lines. If you can stabilise the result and add strain relief.
I think that it is the same stuff, just will propellant added in the aerosol. A small squeezy bottle with a needle is better if you have live stuff nearby - but you can always fill one from an aerosol
I lost my electric fence tester, probably the pigs ate it. But I opened it once to resolder the earth wire and found it’s really just a voltage divider with resistors and leds, so I can probably rebuild with stuff I have. What resistor values though? 2k to 10k V run through the fence. If any of you good people have a diagram,...
The diodes at least provide some steps - which just LEDs and resistors don’t. The dissipation in the main series resistors will be quite something, also. (You will probably need several resistors in series, if you use standard ones, with their standard voltage limits).
