North American Cable Equipment Company has them, but I've heard that 
they have a $100 minimum. .

There are ways to home brew them, and that's what I've done for the 75 
ohm line I have.  Several are documented on the internet.  See 
http://k9yc.com/Coax-Stubs.pdf  for my solution.  More photos in the 
Coax-Stubs Power Point pdf.
