Plain old RG-8/U should serve if you can't find the real thing. The
specs aren't quite the same, but the most critical ones (impedance,
inner conductor and outer jacket sizes) match. Also, plain RG-8
doesn't have the 2.5 meter stripes, so you have to measure out
multiples of 2.5 meters for the transceiver placement.
(Alternatively, for small networks you can ignore the placement rule.
For large networks it matters.)
