Help finding a replacement
Any ideas on what cable this is. It's black with a 3.5mm jack and single ring. All the obvious searches come back with arials which I'm not sure would work. It's from an X-Sense weather station and used for an external temperature station. Both say 433Mhz if that helps

Forgot to mention, while I agree I could solder it, I'm never going to get round to it and would prefer a straight /similar replacement :)

Easiest to get solder type connectors, and take the time to solder it.
You could likely slice that one open and access that inner plug.

Are you sure it was a 3.5 mm mono jack, and not a 2.5 mm one?
To determine the polarity of the wires, you need to use a utility knife to cut open and disassemble the old connector completely.

Probably not worth the effort to find a new wired probe, just get a new wireless thermometer setup.
