MicroUSB panel mount socket

I didn't want a PCB mount MicroUSB socket, I wanted something that I could mount to a panel and wire to in order to pick off the power lines. So far I have only found one option, a circular hemetic mount which isn't necessarily so bad looking. It comes in PCB pin options but also with a solder pad option.
