Syl Arena OCF cord is probably the best compromise between price and quality:

But if I were you I’d go straight to wireless. I don’t think that flash supports E-TTL, so just grab a set of Yongnuo RF-602 for like $25 on Amazon.

This is the PC cord you need that plugs into the front of the Canon 299T. You probably also want a

Male PC to Female PC extension cord for more reach.

Price: $4.50 + shipping

Or you could use an optical slave trigger such as a Wein.
