Wireless Network card aerial connector

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could tell me if the connector on the aerial
of my network cards is a standard, and if so where can I buy aerials with a
higher gain.
The link below is a picture of the connector.

Thanks,
Pete.

It's RP-SMA.

www.solwise.co.uk sell a 9 quid 5db omni.

That is fantastic, thanks.
A few questions though:
1- I don't know too much about the actual field strength a WLAN card kicks
out, how much of an increase in range can we expect from a 5dB gain?
2- Does anyone know an antenna with the same connector that have a higher
gain?
3- Are there any extender cables for this type of connection?

Thanks,
Pete.
