    That's called 3 Conductor Zip Cord

    It's usually used nowadays for towing trailers

    Make sure the stuff you buy is rated for 120v, because some trailer wire is only rated for 32v

    Looks kind of like this. Is it metal? https://www.marcospecialties.com/pinball-parts/20-9682-1

    You can purchase a 3 conductor extension cord and cut the ends off. You'll essentially have the same thing.

    I'd just wash the old boot off.

    Otherwise you will have to get a heat shrink cable boot and make one

    It's just a normal electrical part you get at any electrical supply house.

    Your pics show the original cord was 18 AWG (gauge). Printed right on the wire. Make sure your new cord is at least 18 gauge and no longer than the original or you could get unexpected resets.

    Or anything lower.

    So if you find 16ga or 12ga, that would be even better.
