White Sleeved Cable going to extruder head broken. What is the replacement part?

Hi, Looks like the white sleeve cable going to my extruder head has frayed and broke. 

What is the replacement part? How would I go about fixing this? 

Thanks

This is probably a thermistor cable, to confirm, look at:

Cheerio,

Thank you @Diem, the white wire is my thermistor cable. Will order a new "Hotend thermistor E3D" to fix that.

Also, I noticed this. Do you know what this wire is called? I think I need a whole new assembled hotend correct?

The hotend heater cables are hard to repair or replace, to determine whether you need to replace the whole lot I suggest you contact Prusa Support.
