How best can I repair this cord on the broken section of the insulation as shown.

How have you delt with yours besides replacing?

Nice repair job. Be careful, though... you might want to have an extra cable on hand, incase that one starts to not work, or if it catches fire.

My phone cable did the same thing. It was like the rubber was slowly breaking down.

You are risking a $200 phone and it's data for a $7 cable?
or possibly more (wiring in the house, or house)

Cheers.

EDIT: You talking about buying a new cable I believe.
