I would guess that it is most likely an F Connector: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F_connector
Yes Canadian Tire would most likely carry an F Connector. If not you can easily purchase these connectors (or already crimped cables) online (just search google for it).

Cable modems are commonly connected on the server side with a 75 Ohm RG-6 coaxial cable , terminated with a "F" connecter. The "bronze" thing is the actual copper center wire (18 gauge) of the coax cable.
The longer cable you want can most easily be found in the TV antenna section of a store. Lengths of 3', 6', 25' and much longer RG-6 coax cable should be available. You would be better off using just one long cable. Do not extend the old by getting a joiner & new cable, or an extension cable with a female end (instead of both ends male).
