I've just measured it, and mine doesn't seem to be very long at 830mm (approx) between crimped fittings, let me know if it's about the same, and what you're after for it and I'll stick summik in the post.....
The SS cable fits fine. in fact its better than the standard one because its shorter. The standard one has a sharp bend about 6" from the drive (almost certainaly where it broke) both mine did!! SS one takes that out Hope you get sorted.
