Im trying to connect my arduino via the headers to a PCB with a 3D matrix of LEDs and I cant seem to find an appropriate cable. Can anybody offer any insight?

I need a 1X20 male header to ribbon(cable or whatever) to some sort of solderable connector. 2 1X10 or similar would also do well for me.

take a 40 pin IDE harddisk cable and and strip it down to what you need, I used that for a LED cube.

Doubt you will find cable assemblies terminated with header pins. 99% of the time, you put the pins on the board for a board to cable connection. Female headers are more for board stacking like the different arduino shields that you see, having female headers on the board also makes it easy for prototyping with 24awg jumpers and breadboard.
Your best bet is to make one your self out of some header strip and old IDE ribbons.
Protips:
If you plug the pin header in a female socket when you solder, even if you melt the plastic, the pins stay aligned.
Also, if you solder the pin header on a small strip of protoboard laying down, like this Link2 , it will give the finished connector more structural support.

I suppose I will just use an IDE cable.
