I need what is pictured below. The problem is that I don't know what it

I need a term I can enter into google so I can order some new ones.

Are you just asking for the wire (cable?) Then it is indeed called
just ribbon cable, or flat ribbon cable. You need to specify the # of
conductors (looks like 28 or 30 in your photo) and the pitch.

Go to Digikey and search for ribbon cable....

If you just need a few inches, then you could probably make what you
need from some hard drive or floppy cables. If you need it with
particular connectors on the ends, then there are several varieties of
these available there, too. Most of them are insulation displacement
types which you can install yourself with the help of a vice.
