Texture electronic cable

[Skampus]

Hi everybody,
I need a short advise. I try to texture a cable. It has to be two colours going along the cable not twisted as you can regard at the screenshot.
I try a few ways without success ..now I´m blocked
Has someone the ultimate idea.

Map a gradient type procedural material using cylinder as the mapping type ?

Thanks Martin for that
Done ..the result is not that I hoped for. I add another Screen from a real cable. So it should lool like. Any idea is still welcome

I just tried it too and got unexpected results. What file format is your model in ? I tried 3DM

Add this material to the diffuse slot or texture slot if using translucent material, use uv mapping type and scale to suit
