I'm trying to find a longer replacement for the coax cable running from wall socket to cable modem. Bearing in mind that I have next to no idea about these cables, can anyone please tell me:

1) Is it just a 'normal' coax cable?
2) What's the proper term for the special screw connectors on each end?
3) Is there anywhere (mail/internet-order in the UK) I can buy the cable from with the connectors already attached?

...and any other advice on replacing it would be more than welcome.

Thanks very much,

SW.

PS. Has anyone just been cheeky and asked NTL to send them a longer cable? Any success?
