Sturmey-Archer 5 speed shifter cable replacement?

Hey all. I today had the shifter cable for my RXL-RD5 snap. It snapped inside the twist shifter (TSC50). I can't seem to find any information on the cable it needs. I'm at work now, or I would just tear it apart and see what it needs. But if I can find out now, I can either know I have a replacement at home, or rush order one as that bike is my main mode of transit. Thanks!

It takes a regular, garden variety shift cable. The only SA shifter that requires a special cable is the classic 3 speed trigger.

Thank you. I have a small stash of those from when I rebuilt another bike. Now I know what I will be doing tonight when I get home.
