But, the SO-239 is the natural 'mate' for the PL-259 :-)

Build your cable with PL-259s on both ends. Then buy a UHF Adapter Jack-Jack,
Amphenol P/N 83-1J.

This is the easiest way to achieve what you want to do. The 83-1J is available
at HRO et al distributors.

I am looking for a female version of the standard PL-259 connector. It
connects the same way a 259 does, but is simply a female version.
I called The Wireman and was told they no longer handle these connectors
due to no interest.
My goal is to make a jumper cable (I've seen these connectors at Rad
Shack on pre-made cables) with a male on one end, a female on the other
so as to add a 25 ft. length of cable without having to mess with a
barrel connector.
Anybody know where this can be found? And, NO, I am not in the market
for an SO-239.
