Default source of flex cable

Can't you salvage a cable from an old flatbed scanner or printer and cut
it down?
No idea if the pins match but as suggested by another poster, if it's
very small try an old dvd or cd drive for a cable and trim to suit.
I found it's possible to shorten a cable and scrape the plastic off to
expose the contacts again, expose a bit longer and then trim to size.
