Gus asked a question in ThingM on July 28, 2009 19:22:

I want to get a 4 core IDC cable and sockets to create a serial and power bus. Does anyone know good mouser/digikey part numbers? I have seen some examples around for this and I am very intereterested in setting this up. Also, Thing it would be great if you could identify sources for the same on the site. It is no fun wiring up loads of blinkms ;)
