Even if you have to buy wider, just strip off what you need and buy the IDC ends, very simple to apply and assemble in a small vise.

Source for 26 wire ribbon cable assembly
Maybe this is a dumb question, but I'm pulling my hair out looking for a pre-made ribbon cable (with IDC connectors) that uses all 26 wires, not 25 wires. I can find 25 wire cable by the foot, but I can only find 26 wire cable in 100' spools, and I don't need 100'....or 50'....or even 5'. Specifically I'm just trying from JP33 on KStep to a breakout board in my controller box.

And Aren't floppy cables 26 pins with an IDC header already attached?Originally Posted by Al_The_Man
Hmmm...I must be going soft for not having thought of that. I have a local electronics shop that carries 30 wire ribbon cable by the foot. Done. Great idea
Thanks.
They do, but IBM screwed it up with their stupid address swop over, a section is reversed.
