Default unfamiliar network cable

I need to reterminate a new network cable, but its not one I'm familiar with. It has 8P8C connectors, but they're metal lined. The cable is 7mm OD, each twisted pair is foil screened and kept separated from its neighburs by a central x shaped plastic strip.

What is this cable?
What are the necessary plugs called?
Can I use my cat5 crimping tool? I suspect not - if not is there a way to crimp just one plug without a new tool?

cheers, NT
