Looks like some sort of Ribbon cable. I counted 25 individual strands. Also the pin pitch is important, that means distance between the pins of the cable. I would use just any old flat cable with same pin pitch.
If I'd have to guess I would take old IDE hard drive cable and fabricate one. If the pitch needs to be higher wires can be separated to achieve correctness.

It's a flat flex cable.  There are a variety of terminations available.

this is pcb solder cable. this cable doesn't have any solder pad like FFC have.

Looks like something akin to a Tyco Flexstrip jumper -- a sore point with me at the moment, because I typoed a part number last week and ordered one with the wrong pin pitch!

See http://www.te.com/catalog/minf/en/161?BML=10576,17787 for the Tyco version, but no doubt other manufacturers have similar.  I seem to be struggling to get their product selector to find the part I'm looking for as an example, but there's a reference guide at that URL which describes the options.

The important variables are the length, pin pitch and conductor count, so try a part number like FSN-12A-25 (FS=Flexstrip, N=Nomex insulation, 1=1.27mm pitch, 2=2 inches long, A=straight pins, 25=25 conductors) as a starting point and adjust from there if required.
