I believe I can answer that! 'IDC' stands for something 
like 'Insulation Displacement Connector', meaning that when you push 
the plug shut to trap the flat ribbon cable, the insulation on each 
wire in the ribbon is 'displaced' (meaning 'pushed aside', but in 
reality it is cut both sides of the wire) by the sharp pins in the 
plug, thus allowing the pins to make contact with the conductor 
inside (so basically contact is made without soldering!). Is that an 
understandable description?
