Fibre optic Christmas tree

My tree stopped working and it seems to be the cable just where the jack plug fits into the socket, which has a 3 pin plug/adaptor(?). Would it be safe to cut the jack plug off and connect the cable to a 13 amp plug?

Can you post a photo? All this sounds to me like a low-voltage power supply.

Never owned one, but would have thought a 12v adaptor was needed.0

Most fibre optic trees are low voltage (including mine) so what you propose would not be a good idea
How do know it's the cable ? Have you tested it with a multimeter?0
