I am currently using two 8-wire ribbon cable to connect 2×8 pins on the Arduino to 2×8 pins on a board. This makes plugging/unplugging very tedious are the ends are not glued together like in a connector
Question: How can I create my own ribbon cables with connetors for 2×8 pins? After some researched I found IDC connectors somewhat suitable, but the connectors appear to have additional plastic like the clips which will obscure the 2 pins to each side of the 2×8 pins I'm plugging the cable into.
What other options do I have? I'm hoping for a 8×2 version of the following cable, what are such cables called?

Pololu.com sells connectors like this, and they have precrimped wires as well.
Wires.
2x8 housing.
