Broken low voltage cable

Hello. Can anyone advise how to repair this broken cable? It’s snapped too close to the adapter to cut and rejoin. Many thanks

You would need to open the "plug" to get to the cable, but it will be welded closed, the only way to open it will be destructive. Some things are not repairable, this is one such thing.

Thank you. I found a replacement connector with 3m of cable online. If I cut the existing cable and suggestions to join it to the new connector/cable?

Does the bit with the vertical grooves looking at the pic just unscrew allowing you to plug in your new lead?
Hard to tell without actually seeing it in person.

You might need to use a small connector or soldering method. Consider using a heat shrink connector or a similar repair kit designed for tight spaces. If soldering, make sure to insulate the connection properly to avoid further issues.
