Try these

Hopefully the link will work! I can't make head nor tail of their product descriptions, but have used them over the phone in the past.

That doesn't seem to work :roll:

Try this http://cpc.farnell.com/multicore" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Use the 'search within' and specify ribbon.

Thanks for the effort, but as with most suppliers they only supply AWG 28 ribbon(<0.4mm diameter) so i really need the AWG 16 or greater (Ø1.4 mm or more)
