Please help me!

I want to buy a long network cable but i don't no what kind of network i have. It has circular hads and operates through a t connector. It is not those ones with a flat head which looks like a phone cable head. This description is probably useless but please try to help.

its ok whoooo i went to pc world and had a look at a box which told me what i needed. PC world are a ripoff it was 2£20 or something for an 8 metre cable. Microdirect is a tenner for a 30m one. Thanks for reccomending them though whoooo

Oh, damn! that was an error caused due to me being knackered recently. If you read my first post you'll see i do know what I'm on about.

Talk about misinformation.

UTP, BNC is the other phone type, do MicroDirect do mail order??

MicroDirect in Manchester do one for £7.64 (20m). I don't think they do mail order though, so unless your nearby that was of no use to you whatsoever. Ah well, at least it made me feel cleverer than tbn again!
