The Microchip ICD2 uses an RJ12 6p6c connector. According to the ICD2 pos=
ter
one of the positions is not used (PGM). In catalogs you=92ll find them
referred to as RJ11 also; they=92re the same plug=85just make sure they=92=
re 6p6c.
The Olimex ICD2 clones use a Molex connector so I bought an RJ12 ratcheti=
ng
crimper and a 25-pack of RJ12 plugs and made a few cables. Crimper and pl=
ugs
can be found at Home Depot in the US. The crimper is a precision tool wit=
h a
corresponding price tag. If you only need to make a few connections there
are cheap versions of these tools but using them is not as pleasant as th=
e
ratcheting models. This negates the lower cost of the clone, of course.
Sparkfun sells a small adapter with both a Molex and an RJ12 connector on=
 a
small pcb. I use these together with a Molex terminated cable to connect
between the various boards I have on hand.

If you decide to go this route buy more RJ12 plugs than you think you nee=
d
since the cables don=92t always pass the continuity test. (For the contin=
uity
test I put a Sparkfun adapter on each end of the cable and check continui=
ty
between the six-pin headers.) Mark each plug you install with a Sharpie a=
nd
if the cable fails the continuity test use a magnifier to inspect the
finished work. With a bad cable, you can=92t gather much from a visual
inspection but maybe just enough to make an intelligent guess as to which
plug should be clipped and replaced. As with any other skill you get bett=
er
with practice.

Finally, I=92ve seen on one or two sites where someone made a hybrid cabl=
e by
taking a flat six-conductor cable with an RJ12 connector on one end and
six-conductor ribbon cable with a Molex connector at the other end and
soldering the six fine wires together. But I don=92t have much confidence=
 in
this sort of thing.

I omitted some fine points. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

Cheers
