I'd buy a new one. I have the duality of hoarding cable and not being
able to find them. I'd find myself spending hours looking for a cable
that I could buy a replacement online in 5 minutes. Buying the
replacement then has the benefit of meaning I'd find the original as
soon as I hit "buy".

That's OK, Two is One, One is None. Always have a backup.   :)

 That was my excuse - I needed something with long battery life that I
 could plug into the cisco console port at my colo at the time.
