You can also get some cable called 'siamese' cable, which is
(obviously?) two coaxes in a 'figure 8' configuration.

Cabletron call it 'Siamese Thin Wire', part# 706014.

You can also get an interesting looking connector from AMP called the
'Thinnet Tap' system (#222503-1). This is a connnector that plugs
into a wall plate, breaking the through connection and comes complete
with a cable and connector. I don't know how reliable the connection
is tho'.
