Need new chromecast cord

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

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.

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
