The brake cable breaking had absolutely nothing to do with the strength of your brakes. It broke because it was worn, frayed or rusted. I have no idea if they were the right ones since the end fitting that goes to your brake levers has to match the proper type. Yes, you can get them on Amazon IF you know what to order. Otherwise, a trip to the bike shop is necessary.
