    Looks like standard satellite f connector on a coax, anyone working with satellite tv will be able to make you one. It's just a standard satellite cable

    Power City are fairly reasonable for cables etc

    http://powercity.ie/?par=30-75-DC5602&brands=FLEMMING if Cat5e will do.

    There's a shop on Philipsburgh Ave, Fairview, Satellite.ie, should have the coax, not sure about the LAN cable.
