Female PL259?

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.

http://www.antenex.com has them - part number CPL9CF is a crimp-on
female PL-259 for RG-58 cable. Antenex dealers such as Falcon Direct
carry the same part, same number.

A female PL-259 will have the threaded ring on it- how will you deal with 2
threaded rings being mated together? What you ARE looking for is an in-line
SO-239. Pasternack and The RF Connection both carry them for cables from
RG-58 to RG-213 sized cables.

Further Info: Pasternak's Catalog #2006C page 134 shows what you want.
Depending on whether you are using RG58 or RG8, and depending on whether
you want crimp connector ( requires special crimp tool) or clamp type, they
have it all.

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.

Thank you Dave, Dale, and Ed for taking the time to not only respond, but to
show me where to find this connector. May you make many DX contacts in the
coming months.

Hello, and I would like to point out (from experience at work) that
Pasternack is a convenience store for bulk RF connectors and pre-made,
connectorized RF cables - You will save time but you will pay big $$ (e.g.
compared to Rat Shack or a Ham fest for a similar item) for it. They are
prompt, however. Sincerely, and 73s from N4GGO,
