IDSS-07-D-08.00 is 3.538 each in 1-99. That is an 8 inch 7 conductor ribbon
cable with a SIL IDC on either end, pre-assembled. That is about twice what
I can afford, so I've asked for a quote on just the connector; part IDS-07-T
(T=tin, G would be gold). Samtec apparently isn't distributed?

If they quote $0.50 or less per connector, I'll go with that, as it gives me
the ability to supply just the connectors and ribbon cable. The users can
cut the cable to the length they need (or use their own) and then crimp on
the connectors and be done with it.
