Hmm...no idea but buying a new cable would be the easiest approach. They aren't that expensive.

IDCX where X is the number of pins. i.e. IDE cable is IDC40.

He might be trying to make a custom length cable for a sweet managed look.

I have some 64x2 LCDs that I tried to do that with. I could NOT find any connectors that would work. THere was one that I found at a TX store called Altex but it didn't have good contact. I forget what they are called though.
