That item is just the cable, and doesn't have the connectors on the ends.

The Digikey items are what they call "Value Add," which means they assemble the cables in-house and send them to you, which increases lead time. You can do the same thing, but personally I never have much success with manually crimping those ICD ends on. Something like this will work fine as a replacement for your Digikey part, just make sure it's the right length for you: https://www.amazon.com/Pc-Accessorie...bbon+cable+20p
