Replacement Lightning cable for ICA4+

It doesn't look like you carry these in your shop.  Where can I find? 
Are there 3rd party cables out there that have compatibility?
Preferably at slightly longer lengths?

We do not carry these anymore. Apple stopped selling the chips that go into the cables for us, which is a game they wanted us to keep playing. Tell us our old chips are needing an upgrade and not supply new options in time. 
The best option, which I use, is to use USB3 camera connection kit. You can connect a standard USB cable and power if you iwhs for your iOS device.

OK - thanks. I have one around, so I'll try it out.

@tsho08 - I just purchased an iPad Pro 3rd Generation that I'm waiting to receive. I just realized it will have a USB-C port on it instead of lightning. I'm assuming a USB-B to USB-C cable will work fine for connectivity, but is there an option that can also power the iPad Pro?

Forget the above.I found the right cable setup for the Pro. Works great.

I'd be interested to know which cable setup you have found. Thanks

USB-B to USB-C I've used that works is.

I mostly use my powered USB-C hub. I have one for my iPad Pro and for my Mac mini and my Android phone

That looks like what I've been looking for but I am afraid an USB hub would not work with my iPad 8th gen/

I've just got a Novation LaunchKey Mini and would like to connect it via USB to my iPad, because it will only control natively Novation Apps (GrooveBox) if connected via USB to the iPad, not via the DIN MIDI Port on the Audio4+.

But the iPad lightning port already has the Audio4+ connected to it. Would this USB HUB work to connect both the Audio4+ and the Novation LaunchKey Mini the iPad? Would the iPad recognise both devices? Maybe latency problems? Also looking forward to purchase an iPad Pro. Is the USB C more reliable?

I like the USB-C iOS devices best, but I lean that way because I have multiple computers with USB-C and run Android phones and tablets alongside my iPad Pro. Having everything on USB-C connection is nice and convenient for me.

I added some info to your other thread about connected a USB hub to your iPads. Check it out
