help a complete beginner figure out what these connectors are

can anyone help me with what i'm meant to search for to find these ribbon cable connectors? the BOM says they're IDC16 8x2, but will all box connectors come with the 'lid' part and allow ribbon cable to continue on both sides if that makes any sense? sorry if this is a stupid question!

cheers
