Get a crimper and some connectors and make your own M/F cables. The coax
used is either RG-316 or RG-174. The RG-316 is preferred as it is low-loss

amalgamating tubing has a heat-activated coating of glue on the inside.
Ten male SMA crimp connectors are less than $10 US, same for the female
SMAs and the RG-316 is $15 US.
For 35 bucks, you'll have 10 M-F jumpers in your choice of lengths.
