Almost any electronic supplier if standard ribbon, I use DigiKey, BTW, you can also get ribbon cable with shielded covering.

I am in the process of putting my electronics in an enclosure. I am using two boards that are connected via a parallel cable.
Does anyone have a source for a parallel ribbon cable, as opposed to the typical round cable?
Thanks

Not to mention that any computer repair shop will have several different kinds of ribbon cables already made up, probably ranging from about 9 conductors to about 25 connectors.

So far I have not been able to find a pre-made parallel ribon cable.
Does anyone have a link to a supplier?
It is very simple to order the cable and IDC header connectors and make your own up, just use a sharp pair of scissors to cut the cable and carefully position the header connector in a vise and when the cable is aligned, just tighten the vise, I prefer the ribbon with the 10 colours repeated across the ribbon for ease of identification when stripping.
Another advantage of making your own is custom length and that you can exit the header 180° if needed.

IMO, most ribbon cables available locally etc are going to be IDC header connector, if you need 25 pin to 25 pin D connector on ribbon you are most likely going to either get them custom made or make them up yourself.
Due to the variation in possible length, pretty much makes this a custom item.
