Answer 1

Category 5 network cable - you can buy them anywhere, but Best Buy/Circuit City don't carry long ones.  You can find them up to 50 feet or so, as well as couplers to join two together into a longer cable.

Cat 5, 5e and 6 will all work for you.

You can also buy your own network cable and crimp tool, and make your own.

Answer 2

It's called an RJ45 type connector and looks like a telephone jack but is 8 pins and wired differently.  Radio Shack, Circuit City, Best Buy, etc. will have this cable and most likely in the length you need.
