What kind is it? It should be listed on the jacket.
In general, N and PL259 connectors for most kinds of coax can be
found for not a whole lot of money on Ebay. I've also found good
deals at swaps.
If the coax is unterminated, look into it with a flashlight. If you can
see water marks on it, you probably have something which at least
needs the ends chopped off to get around the water damage, to
having a somewhat worthless chunk of copper. Even hard line with
no obvious damage can be bad; I found that out the hard way once.
Really, the best way to test it is to stuff some connectors on it and
see what the loss is with a watt meter.
