I have been unable to find the following on the web, perhaps someone "in 
the industry" can tell me if it exists.

I am looking at Amphenol brand T-Connectors that are F X F X F, all 
three connection points are female.  I am like a bunch of others getting 
ready to do the stub thing - it is too hot in FL to do antenna work now 
- and am hoping to go this route since I can use them without any double 
female on that middle tee point.

If I can fabricate up all my stubs, separation lines, etc. with PL259's 
it will be easy to put it all together...

Several of the usual ham radio connector suppliers have FXFXF fittings 
but they are imports.

Over the past 30 years of hamming and a lot of connector failures I have 
adopted a personal "only Amphenol" rule (others feel the same way - it 
just isn't worth it to gamble on a connector of dubious quality) and am 
going to try and stick with it...

SO, are you in the trade and have an Amphenol catalogue... from what I 
see on the web they only have F X M X F option.

Thanks,

Jim, K4OJ
