Think tektro or whoever's name is on the lever supply them with those. Never seen them aftermarket, usually use a road brake inner cable, pref a quality stainless + flexible job as they pivot a lot around the end of the ferrule/outer = cable end gets mangled and fails fast if you use shit cables. A little silicon grease would help too.

seems like this should be obvious, but:
I have a Charge Plug somewhere around 2017 model. It has v brakes with two finger leavers. Snapped a brake cable the other day, and assumed a normal barrel end cable would do.
Well, it would do but it isn't the right end so it sticks out the back of the brake lever, although it does actually function ok.
The OEM cable has a metal sphere on the end. A globe. Like this:
Have done some googling but can't seem to find one like that.
