    So far, I can't find anything longer than 1.75"... :<

    Hmmm... the text description claims '2"' but the graphic looks
    more like a plain old ~1" coupler. This based on the relative
    sizes of the diameter (~3/8") vs. length.

    Contrast this graphically with the 1.75" version I had found:
    <https://www.ebay.com/itm/404316225471>

    I've sent an email to the firm requesting dimensional data.
    I have little faith in people verifying the accuracy
    of their catalog data. :<

    Thanks! If this truly is 2", it solves a problem...

    Box hardware supposed to solve most through-wall issues.

    A tight space?

    An "assembly" that has a female connector that I want to
    "translate" through ~3 inches AND use as a mechanical
    support.

    A 3" M-F cable could do the trick -- but would put
    a mechanical load on the connectors on the ends of the
    cable.

    Instead, I was hoping a M-M with F-F cascaded to give
    me that span (I can tolerate the insertion losses). The
    M-M all seem to be about 1" in length, leaving 2" to
    cover with the F-F. So, any combination of devices
    that total to ~3" (ignoring decimals) would work.

    *Or*, rethink the placement of the connectors entirely...
