MSP-FET430UIF 14-conductor ribbon cable replacement

I am looking for a replacement 14-conductor ribbon cable for my MSP-FET430UIF USB debug interface.  Is there a way to purchase a replacement?  I can't seem to find one.  If not, I will make one, but I  have not been successful in finding the part numbers for the connectors on the cable.  Are the manufacturer and part numbers listed anywhere?

Thank you.

    Usually cables like that are custom made for the product. It's just an 8-inch 14-pin .100" dual-row header.

    Some 14 conductor flat ribbon cable (or more, and pare off the extra wires) is what you need.

    The connectors are standard insulation displacement (IDC), e.g. Tyco 2-1658527-2 or 3M 89114-0103 or Amphenol Canada 812-1433-434

    I would imagine that Digikey has the connectors, any good local electronics supply house (NOT Radio Shack) should have the ribbon cable. I also see several eBay auctions for ribbon cable, some are "by the foot" pricing.

    You could also try searching "14-pin jtag cable" eBay will turn up lots

    Hi, Nick.

    Digikey has pre-made 2x7 IDC cables. Check out Assmann WSW Components H3CCH-1406M.
