I once saw something similar made out of standard radio frequency
coaxial cable components - mainly TNC connectors.

Now there's an idea. If you know someone who works at a medium-or-large
size IT installation, and has any responsibility for the networks or at
least happy access to the back of the cupboards where
previously-very-useful
but now-obsolete stuff has been squirrelled away, you may find it easy to
get shiny T-pieces of approx. 12mm outside diameter. Coax T-pieces were
all the rage in 10Base2 wiring some, what, 10-15 years back, before
twisted-pair wiring became all the rage. snip

More of an AMP-Tap man myself....

Those were the days. Got myself out of no end of real work sorting out
downed segment faults.... (everyone else thought it a black art).
