Does anyone know what type of connection this is? I’m looking to get a longer ribbon cable but want to make sure I get one with the correct connector on the other end.

    Those are FPC/FFC connectors (Flexible Printed Circuit/Flexible Flat Cable). You normally have .5mm or 1mm pitch (distance between pins), but can go as low as .2mm, and as high as 2mm. There are several style of connectors, the ones in the picture are sometimes called “clamshell”.

    You’re dealing with a flexible printed circuit with a front flip connector, making them too long could interfere with signal integrity.

    Edit: might be better off with a female to male c cable.
