I'm building a custom Video receiver for my UAV using prefabed componets I already have. This will be a diversity receiver using RSSI for switching and a LCD with Freq, and signal strength display. I'm more of an assembler than a technician, and have a few issues to deal with. I know no electronic techs except you experts here, and hope for some guidance?
I'll start with something basic. I need to connect the LCD to the main board, and a short ribbon cable seems to be the best option. Each board with have breakaway type connectors with a single row of 16 male pins. They have the same spacing, and size as servo connector pins. I'm looking for a short ribbon cable with the 16 conductors, and a single row female connector on each end. Can anyone point me to one. I haven't been able to locate this part?

No Takers?

Let me ask this differently than. If you had 2 board, and each one has a single row of 16 male servo connector pins, How would you connect them? I do not want to solder 16 little wires
