another thought is - that plastic goes brittle if exposed to UV (sunlight, hydroponic rig, etc) or other BPA leeching substances like harsh chems (bleach etc)
only thing I can think of. The cord appears to be in fairly standard household conditions. I'd assume it's been in direct sunlight for a long time. 
watts divided by volts gives amps
thus your cord load would be (maximum)
760 / 120 if american = 6.333amps
760 / 240 if other = 3.166amps
cord not overload or heat up, cord (should) handle 10amps easily

also, use imgur - better, faster, no limits, no crappy wrapper pages. also has fb signup for ease of use

Without knowing the complete circumstances of how it broke I would speculate that it could be a faulty cord. I can only think of plastic/rubber getting brittle when exposed to cold, is your miner located in some place that is extremely cool? (ie outside or basement)
I have just replaced the power cord on my mining system. It has 2 5770's, a 5850, and a 5670. I am using a 760 watt psu. This is the old power cord.
