There's a male and female connector with 26 pins each (2 pictures of each).
Also is there any chance there is a cable to extend the distance between the two?

They remind me of Samtec connectors, but I couldn't find anything at samtec.com or in my latest catalog. It's possible that they're a custom connector -- Samtec does a lot of those.
One thing you might consider is going with standard 2mm square post headers and use a 2mm IDC ribbon cable. Desoldering connectors is a pain, but if you're willing to destroy the existing connector so you can desolder one pin at a time it's not too bad.

Thanks for having a look for me 
You've given me a great idea. I'll buy one of these cables at the length i need.

I'll attempt to desolder the connectors and simply place the pin ends into that cable above.
I'm a bit late here, but I'm looking to do the same thing - how did the 26-pin connector work out for you?
