Source of Cable assembly for Prof Dev Board?

On the Professional Development Board, in the upper right corner, is a dual row connector ("X1") for an LCD panel.· Does anyone know of a source for a 6-9" cable that will connect from that to a STRAIGHT, SINGLE ROW connector of 14 pins (something similar to the picture attached below).

    John,

    How about this:

    www.toby.co.uk/content/catalogue/products.asp?series=A04a-xx-BT1-G

    I stumbled around for a bit trying to find this. For what it is worth, my Google search terms were:

    single row idc

    I mention this in case the above link doesn't work out for you and you want to pick up where I left off.

    BTW, I realize you were looking for a cable, but I figured if you could source the single row IDC connector, then making a cable wouldn't be too hard.

    Thanks,
    PeterM

    Thank you Peter!

    You are right though, I was looking for the whole thing already done (for the school).

    Peter,

    You did get me on the right track though!

    On Prof Dev Board
    14 pin IDC Socket, Dual Row
    Mouser # 164-9007, $0.46 ea

    On LCD
    14 pin IDC Socket, Single Row
    Mouser # 581-208284014000030, $3.34

    Then ribbon cable between.

    I haven't seen these yet (order pending) but it looks like it will work. Thank you again Peter. Sometimes I just need the right search terms.

    John,

    I'm glad you took up the baton and found what you needed. You're right about having correct the search terms, that's why I posted them. I have a friend who isn't computer savvy at all, but he always seems to know the right terms for Craigslist to find what he's looking for. When I saw your situation, those were the terms that popped into my head. They seemed to offer some decent hits.

    Glad to see you found your parts "locally," rather than all the way in the U.K. I also appreciate the details on the Mouser part numbers. This is something that I just know I'll need one of these days.

    Thanks,
    PeterM
