Need new chromecast cord

My cat chewed through the cable that connects my chromecast to the outlet. Where can I find a replacement?

Dear Pizzabagels, i hope that this response is of use to you, if it is the power cable that you are referring to then this is a USB Type-C cable, basically the same charger as your laptop or console controllers

Pizzabagels,

Flynalyn has it (mostly) right. The majority of Chromecast devices use standard cables. Only the new Chromecast with Google TV uses USB-C, the rest use Micro-USB. You can get them anywhere. Take your damaged cable in with you and they'll match it up. I actually don't use the cable that came with most of my Chromecasts; I use other cables that are either a bit longer or a bit shorter to better fit the location.

The only one that IS a problem is the Chromecast Ultra. It seems to be very picky about it's cable and doesn't like replacements for some reason.
