Breakaway cables themselves are pretty brand-specific, so if you can determine what model breakaway kit you have I will be happy to recommend the correct replacement cable.

An easier solution though might simply be to replace the switch and cable with the Bright Way Group # 3802348. The cables and pins are specific to the switch they work with but the switches themselves are pretty interchangeable between different breakaway systems. This means the Bright Way switch and cable set will work just fine with whatever model system you have.
