Looking for the name of a part

I'm looking for a name of a part. It looks like a cable inside another cable. The idea is that you can just pull on the inside cable and get the force at the other end. You can just attach the outside cable somewhere, and don't have to bother about pulleys and such.
Does this exists, and what is it called?

It's called a Bowden cable. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bowden_cable
As @Corey said, they are often used for bike brake cables, but they have many other uses as well.

Sounds like your talking about bicycle cable and housing. Search for "brake cable"
There are also different types of these cables for different applications. Teflon lined inner for smoother operations, stainless for corrosion resistance, linear wound, opposed to radially, outer housings that can withstand turning/mild kinking without tightening the inner cable, etc.
