Hi
There are two types of TR MAU (hubs) out there. One has the old block style
connector, the other has a RJ-45 style port. Hopefully you have the later,
if not they are real cheap on ebay.
Anyway, (assuming the RJ-45 style) a straight regular old ethernet cable
between the PC NIC and the hub and between the media filter and the hub.
Nothing special here, a straight cable is a straight cable rather it uses
the same pairs to communicate or not.

standard Cat 5 cable because Token Ring uses different pins than Ethernet.
What about the cable between the PC and the MAU? The NIC card can handle
either RJ-45 or DB-9.
