hi, i have a tesseract tex mix with stereo and mono modules. i want to add an extra mono module but the cable only has 3 connectors. Searched everywhere online. Anyone know where i can find one with 4 or 5 connectors?

I don't own a Tex Mix myself, but I assume you are referring to this cable!?
A few things to consider:
- You have to ensure that the module actually supports attaching that many expanders to a single chain (EDIT: according to the manual (on page 2) 6 channel expanders should be ok).
- You need to make sure the pitch is correct (I assume it's the standard Eurorack 2.54mm pitch).
- If you can't find one online, you can easily build these cables yourself! It's actually quite simple and requires no soldering – you just press the connectors onto the ribbon cable with some pliers. Of course you have to double check the orientation of the connectors + red stripe. But it shouldn't be that hard as you already have a template.
Here are the parts you would need (links are from a German electronics store, but you can find these anywhere):
