Broken cable

I have an endstop cable (X-axis) that started having issues. It looks like the cable was broken inside the "sock", which was about 70 cut itself. This was right where the zip-tie was connecting this to the X-motor cable. Made way too tight.
Written to eBay seller for a new cable. These sleeved cables are hard to find. Demand €10 for this problem. Soldered for now. Ordered replacement switches with cables.

Surely somebody need to be told the zip-ties should not be this tight.
