name of cable from DSL modem to network card ?

Hi,
at home I have a DSL modem. Could someone please tell me how the cable is
called which goes from there to the network card of the computer ? Reason to
ask is that I want to buy a connection piece to make a longer cable out of
two separate ones.
Thanks !
Marcel

It is a CAT5 cable with RJ45 plugs on each end. The connection
coupler you need would be a an 8-connection RJ45 outlet, which can
sometimes be found amongst telephone equipment instead of networking
equipment.

Also called a "patch" cable.

of
two separate ones

....may be cheaper (and definitely better signal) to just get one longer
cable. They can be up to 300' long.

Although it may need to be a crossover cable ....
