That's not a 'fibre cable' : it's an RJ11 to RJ11 'modem lead' or 'dsl cable'.

 

Two wire is typically fine, but four wire tends to mean better quality manufacturing.

Re: Snapped fibre cable

Picture is a bit blurry but it looks like the one with the square connection on each end? if that is your rj11 adsl data cable then you can use any that you find

 

most super markets sell them  or you can get from hardware stores or curry's etc

You'll also need to either pry out that detached RJ11 plug or purchase a new plug-in micro filter: the latter might be preferable if it's had a yank hard enough to break the cable.
