Default Center parking brake cable?

I have a badly frayed parking brake cable. Both cables that go to the calipers are good, and the front cable appears to be fine, the bad cable appears to link the two rear cables to the front cable and was rubbing on a bracket that holds the exhaust right in the center of the car.

I can't find any reference to this particular cable. Is it part of the front cable assembly?

You don't mention year but if it's '88+ yes it part of the assembly.
