Electronic geek question

Okay, here's the deal. Our in-store security camera system. When we got the store, it was already set up with some cheesy black & white security cams. We bought nice color cams to replace them. They connect fine, no problem. We're going to install more cameras than we now have wired in for.

The wiring is the issue. Into the DVR that we have, we got from the security company, are the existing cables from the existing cameras. Those wires read, on the outermost cover, "E 111 37 8A 2 #18AWG & 1 #22AWG RG59 COAX CL2".

Can't find this exact combination of numbers anywhere online. We've checked Radio Shack, and they have a wire called an RG 59, but that ain't the whole deal. This wiring is 3 small wires (red, black and black with stripe) bundled with a coax. One end of it is connected to the DVR with its correct connector (those old ones work fine), and the other end, of course, is connected to each camera (also works fine). What we need is this exact wire to install 5 more cameras (our system accommodates 9, we currently have 4). Anyone care to assist me in finding this wire bundle???? We were going to attack this on Sunday, but right now I dunno if we'll be able to get our hands on what we need by then. Any help is appreciated. Any.

Thanks!!!
