Default Steel cable in bulk

I'd like some of the cable used in throttle cables, bike brakes, etc... in bulk, a few meters I guess, ideally stainless steel, or a material that won't rust too quickly.

Also, need the sheath in which the cables run, again, something that doesn't rust would be ideal but not essential.

Any pointers/ideas as to where to look (except google )

Thanks
Greg

I guess I meant I wanted a single length, not cable cut to a specific length for a given purpose.

I've also now realised that I need solid cable for a push-pull, not just to pull a spring loaded mechanism if that makes sense

they can make any type of cable, so I'd assume they could also sell you what you need.
