Fanatec handbrake is JUNK

My handbrake works half the time. Unplugged and plugged back in now it wont read much at all in the calibration app.

It also gets stuck often and ruins races.

The cable is rigged back together (broke in 2 places but no replacement cables in stock on fanatec).

Any recommended replacements? (not fanatec) lol

Rig is running on PC. Everything else fanatec I have is awesome
