Can anybody identify this connector? The inside diameter is about 5mm and there is a thread around the outside. I need to get the opposite connector to plug it into.

It's an inline barrel connector. There are lots out there, with a plethora of different sizes for the various diameters for both the hole and the pin (if any) which is in the hole. I doubt we can help much more than that.
There's a wikipedia entry for them, they are that common.
If you need to get something which mates with this one, and you can't find a datasheet or formal description, you options are either to try and measure it accurately, or trial and error with a bunch of similar looking connectors.
Don't forget, the internal pin length and girth vary along with the diameter and length of the main orifice.
I'll add this as a new answer.
Mark & Chris are correct - it is NOT a SSMA connector.
This answer is based on an extension of what they discovered
The cable designed for use with the accelerometer is shown here
The SMA female would generally fit the description and is commonly used in these types of applications.
However...
The threading (I don't really see it in the photos), if present, looks either way too fine or way too coarse. The barrel also looks too short to be SMA, but again that's just the photo?
To test...
Get a 0.312" (5/16") outer-diameter (lands spacing) hex nut with 1/4" 36TPI threading from your local hardware store.
This is the Tyco Electronics 2-332004-0: 5/16" 1/4-36 Steel Hex Nut
If you don't have good hardware stores (like we have in Silicon Valley), you can order one from Digikey or other online vendors.
If it threads on (don't force it!) then you are almost certainly dealing with an SMA given your other connector properties.
