COTS Twinax connectors

While no longer looking for these, here are links to the most promising leads to BNC-sized COTS Twinax connectors:

These connectors from Blackbox, undoubably mfr'd by someone else, are compatible with an old IBM-style serial connector:

Amphenol makes a series as well which doesn't look too compatible with the above (but which is available through digikey):
