Does any one have any info on the 2" ribbon cable used in the Phatbox?

I've done a little digging in Digi Key and can't seem to come up with a match.  

What I'm needing is a 6" long version.  

Thank you.

Ah, you've helped kickstart my brain.  I dug up a laptop harddrive I have sitting around and was able to plug it right up to the 2" cable of the Phatbox.

Thank you very much.

That'll work, so long as it has all 44 pins - the phatbox uses the key pin as well as a reserved pin for the insert/removal notification.  If your IDE cable doesn't have the key pin connected it won't work

The Key pin is a pin that normally has no pin, so it's blanked out with plastive so you can't put the cable in backwards
