it's called a coupler and it looks very much like the pic in the above link. can probably get it at any well-stocked store or maybe a radio shack near you.

Any well stocked computer store will have this. There will be two types. Crossover and splice. crossover when you go computer to computer and splice to just add length. Mine are green for crossover, might be standard color code( I don't know)
