Any connector with a captured (non-solder) center pin will accomplish this, such as the Times EZ series (EZ-400-NM, etc) or many of the corrugated hardline connectors. As long as the connector was not installed in cold weather with the center conductor pushed in as far as it will go. If the cable is prepped according to the instructions, that won't happen.

     Even if the copper center conductor expands, the way the cable connectors 
are made allows the copper to simply push in the connector  past the connection 
point maintaining its physical length.

Very astute.  You may have explained this paradox.
I didn't think of this type F effect.  Some type N connectors also work this 
way.
