Bicycle cables can be bought by the foot. You can buy the cable and
casing separately. Just take your parts to a bike shop, and see if
they can help you out.

You can also check with a hobby shop that caters to the RC model
crowd. They use cables to connect to the plane's control surfaces for
many of the larger models and there are a whole slew of couplings that
allow you to couple cables together and to put what ever end you want
on the cable. You have to know how to solder though.

Of course the coupling has to remain outside the cable housing.
