There ARE female UHF (as well as N) cable connectors -- both in the
crimp-on series as well as the clamp-on series.  Obviously they are
not as common but in some applications they save the cost and
the reliability hit of a barrel connector.  Joel at The RF Connection
can probably set you up with them.

I have been VERY happy with crimp-on connectors.  As long as you
use the right tool and do it right.
