I have a couple of I2C sensors and am using an I2C hub from Adafruit to connect all sensors to the Arduino.
I am now adding a Sensirion SPS30 which can also use I2C and wanted a cable that can connect the SPS30 to the I2C hub.
Does a cable like this exist? I have tried finding one with no luck yet.
Are there any other ways for me to connect the SPS30 using I2C?

Make a wires yourself?
A common way to connect a modules to arduino boards is using a dupont wires or soldering a modules to breadboard.
Using a kit? Because I dont have the connectors seperate

Could you provide a photo for the module you purchased?
Which module? The I2C hub?
Its the same as the link above.

Please provide a direct link to the photo of the sensor itself, the only that I found there is the picture of the case.
Better yet, take yourself a photo of what you bought.
The sensor is permanently encased

I think you need a kit. Or measure a connector and try to found the compatible on electronic stores.
It seems that this sensor is not designed for use with arduino. You will probably have to write a library for it yourself.
A library exists for it and a lot of people have used it with Arduino. Example of that can be found on the Sensirion website itself
Unfortunately, this is not available in Europe

Can you buy from Digi-key or Mouser where you live?
Yes, I can. But the shipping costs are 6x the price of the cable. Hence I am trying to be creative with my options,

I think you are wrong
The "jst-zhr" is a connector format, using worldwide. You don't need to buy it on exact @jim-p link, you can found it anywhere.
An example
My last resort would be to use any cable with a JST ZHR female end that connects to the sensor and then use WAGO clamps to connect the 5 wires to a 4-wire STEMMA QT Cable
Yes, I am aware. I was hoping to find one with a STEMMA QT female connector at the other end but it looks like I will have to make one myself. Thank you very much for your time

So also buy a qwicc cable and connect the together any way you like.
