Default What's it called ... ?

Anyone know the name or catalogue description of that flat ribbon cable,
usually grey but sometimes black, that has a sort of 'web' between the
conductors, and is tinned when you strip it ? Each individual wire is
probably about one wire-width distant from its neighbours, so a piece say 8
conductors wide would be about the same width as a 'traditional' ribbon of
16 conductors. It's used to interconnect boards typically - think HK Actor
or various Fender combos that have the preamp tubes on separate sub boards.
Also used with those dreadful snatch connectors where the contacts grip the
soldered wire surface so hard that you always finish up with the tinned
tails bending, which then makes them a bitch to get back into the connector.

Anyone ?
