Where do you get wires for Pin headers?

For example, the BS2 Carrier Board (Parallax number 27120) has the 24 pins for the stamp brought out to 2 separate 12-pin headers.· I know you can use an LCD extention cable (Parallax number 805-00012) tro connect to these pins, but the black/red/white color code could cause problems.· Does anyone know where you can get connector wires for this style of header, either individual or maybe 3, 4, or 5-wire sets with plain gray wires & a red strip to identify orientation, or something similar? Any input would be appreciated.· Thanks!

They have a LOT of stuff that is great for prototyping and hobbist work.

and solder your own wire connections. That way you could have specific color
wires you wanted them and to any desired length. More flexible than a pre-
assembled cable.
The Digi-Key item in the link is a 36 position strip. Just break off the number of
pins you need.

phil kenny, the DigiKey link you provided is for the male pins, which is what the carrier board already has on it. I am looking for the female connectors.
Any ideas?

If,If,If...
Like the Video Cable but with (2) female connectors NOT (3)...Then read on...
If you are talking about the Female connector like the shorting connector on some Mother boards but with wires(2) coming out, then yes "All Electronics" has some that will work, but they are not exactly the same. One is like the Battery connectors on Cordless House Phones Batteries, except with 7" wires(.26 in) connector and the other is like RC Battery (.52 in) connector. The price of them has no logic($0.75 & $1.75) if I recall correctly. I have ordered 4 different sets of cables from them at 2 different times and their shipping cost ain't cheap, ooouch!!!
I have a need for 13 of them on my project and at those prices will not be cost effective and they do not fit next to each other in a 2x6 configuration. I'm now looking at the 2x5 or 6 mass terminating type connector but they will not be easy for me to build without special tools(maybe cheaper to purchase). I did not want to do a daughter board for now but maybe I will look in to it now that I've tried to find those cables(sooner then later). Five(5) switches for the Original Unit and (9) switches for the Expanded version. The Expanded Version I know will be reduced by (1) 5 position switch on a daughter board or Membrane(spelling) type switch. I've GOOGLE til I was CROSS EYED looking for the cables and have driven to all the Electronic stores and 2nd hand surplus places here in Austin, TX area. Goodwill Computer Surplus had some CD ROM Audio Cables for a $1.00 that worked for me(I cut them in half). That was a year ago and no more as of yet. Of course Fry's Electronics has the parts to build your own...BUT no I don't want to resort to that. We built these cables a DIME a Dozen years ago at the place I use to work, but man, I did not expect this, when it came time to purchase them for my KIT(s). SO, If we are talking about the same cable, well that's my RANT.
