Many GPS and other modules bought from China comes with robot cable with hard outer sheath.AUAV (PixRacer) supplied cables have nice soft silicone sheath, but they are too thick to hand crimp into the connector housing.Erle Robotics (PXF, ErleBrain) supplied cables are thin, yet hard.3DR supplied ribbon cable are pretty good in terms of softness and durability.Shielded robot cables are OK, but since they are thicker and harder, they tend to pass on the vibrations from the other parts of the vehicle to the floating mounted FC, and sometimes even cause more resonant vibrations. Use of a regular PVC ribbon cable is not advised as they are prone to breakage. These connectors, along with the crimp terminals and crimp tools, can be purchased at RS-Online, Mouser, DigiKey, etc. However, Futaba uses different size pins and crimp terminals, so if you mix them, female connector may become loose.Futaba has extra tabs, but most FC's have a slit that enable you to insert Futaba connectors too.It also has locking tab, but are much larger than DF13 or GH connectors.CLICK-Mate connectors are also used on CAN bus based products.Pixhawk 2 (3DR version) and PixRacer beta (prototype) board used Molex CLICK-Mate.
