If you want to know what type of connector it is, it looks like a 6 pin JST-XH connector. ---

Thanks heaps for that I was looking everywhere for the name. Do you know if I could get one that goes from 6 pin JST-XH to 4 regular jumper wires used in an arduino board? thanks. ---

The cables are normally sold as 1 to 1 connections such as 4 pin to 4 pin, or 6 pin to 6 pin. If you want to build your own custom cable, the component parts for the JST and Dupont connectors are readily available on places such as EBay, AliExpress, and BangGood. ---
