I would think that going to the product index on their website...

It's cable/wire, of a flat/ribbon type, in multiple colors.
You would probably be most interested in the types that they actually have in-stock.
I don't know how many conductors you're interested in, but if you've made it that far, you can probably get the rest of the way on your own.
I make things.
Sometimes I break things too.
...because variety is good.

It's difficult to find it in reasonable lengths and prices at Digikey.

I prefer Jameco's Valuepro line of cable and connectors for this type of thing. Really inexpensive.

Here's 25 feet of 20 conductor rainbow ribbon cable for $17: http://www.jameco.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10001&catalogId=10001&productId=643583&

10 feet of 16 conductor cable for $3.25

Note that the colors are in resistor color-code order.

The key phrase seems to be "rainbow ribbon cable."
