Tiny, specialised connectors make sense when you're using
small-diameter cable. F-connectors are ideal for situations where the
inner conductor is the pin of the male - and you obviously can't do
this with miniature cable. If you ARE using miniature cable, you'll
need to use a different type of F-connector (probably more expensive)
- one which has its own pin (and, of course, the cable can be multistrand).

nice comeback

I've actually got some jumpers using miniature cable (RG-179?) and
F-connectors. You have to solder the inner into the pin, and crimp* the
outer.
*If the dielectric is high-temperature, you can also solder the
folded-back outer braid.
