My Firgelli 100mm actuators came yesterday. I bought them from Active Robots, UK.

Fast and cheap delivery to Sweden.

Unfortunately I wasn't aware that no cable

was included and the website didn't help me match one to PF.

Maybe I just should look harder, but otherwise, any hints or directions where to buy this cable or maybe build one myself?

They are for Mindstorms NXT or EV3. You can convert LEGO Mindstorms (NXT or EV3) motors to Power Functions with 2 LEGO cables connected in serial:

- Converter Cables for NXT (8528)

- Power Functions Extension Cable

but since I have no Firgelli actuators I cannot assure that it also works with them (most probably it will).

If you are in a hurry, you can made your own adapter, connectectin C1 and C2 wires from a Power Functions cable to Motor Power 1 and Motor Power 2 wires from a NXT/EV3 extension cable:.
