<p>This is a 4.5 V cable which is part of an <em>old</em> set I once had. I don't have any parts number, but I know this comes in different lengths.</p>

Note that it's possible to undo the screws holding the wires into the plugs and replace the electrical wire part with whatever you like - longer, shorter, pretty colours, whatever you like. The main thing is making sure you don't lose the screws.

Thank you @M(something?). I'm handy with a screwdriver so fixing ones myself are no problem - if I had enough parts. I'm looking at a bag of LEGO from my own childhood and most cables are incomplete... (yes, even missing the pins and the screws) so I need complete replacements. Maybe 11yo me wasn't good at taking care of small things. Maybe that's why I never had a hamster? :-)

darn, I hoped the photo was of your cable. I had the same problem, but took the motor into an electronic supply place so I could try all the likely looking plugs and eventually found some. They were much cheaper than official Lego ones :)

That photo is my cable. But it's the only complete one I have, and not in best condition either :-/

This is a 4.5 V cable which is part of an *old* set I once had. I don't have any parts number, but I know this comes in different lengths.

Google told me about bricklink.com and I've searched there but didn't find it.
