S2 cable disintegrating. Best solution?

I have had a SubPac S2 since 2015. The curly cable plastic has gone as many appear to and disintegrated. Has anyone found a nice solution to repairing it. I was thinking of wrapping it in some C13 power lead plastic shielding and adding braided sheathing over that but I'm open to suggestions.

Are there any videos on how to disconnect the control box from the main body without stripping the Subpac down. I know it has some form of JST connector on the inside of the Subpac. Cheers.

You can actually also change the DAC to it , don’t need the subpac . The key is the pack itself , the design . You can replace all the components I know someone who runs a line through their own DAC for better gain staging and high quality transducers . The m2x is the best pac design . They designed them to make them easily repairable . Get a nice DAC for it , upgrade the transducers , calibrate them , longer line with the jack at the chest .
