gotek oled extending cables?

i purchased a gotek for my a500+ and a breakout box but the cable supplied for the oled is too short to poke through the amiga grid and reach the oled screen.
i'm having trouble finding a longer cable and don;t even know what they are called.
would it be possible to extend the short 4 pin cable by using make/female dupont cables?
it looks like it would work but i would like to find out for sure.
thanks.

DuPont cables are ideal for the job. Have done this myself to expand an OLED on a Gotek in a Towered setup
