What do you mean by "expansion cable"? That's not a term I recognize.  What are you trying to do?

OK, so it sounds like this is a "dock" of some sort.  The older docks had connectors on the top that mated with large slots on the bottom of the laptops.  The newer ones generally have only USB cables or connectors. I'm not personally familiar with other docking connectors, so I don't know if any adapter is available or will work.
