The equivalent type code of "10BaseT cabele" is RG213. This may be
usefull, when you are looking for the right connector.
Also: There are N to BNC converter plugs. I successfully used one
to connect a 10Base5 and a 10Base2 segment.

In Germany these radio amateurs are abjectly called "power outlet
amateurs", because they only can by equipment and plug it into the power
outlet. I am no radio amateur, but I can understand this, as it is
normal for me to do routine hardware maintenance with a soldering
iron. (Or a mini drilling machine to replace dead cast-in batteies of
NVRAM/clock chips.) Every time I do this for friends, that don't know
how to handle "hardware tools", I get amazed glances. :-)
