Security Camera Question
I need to relocate the antenna of one of my wireless security cameras but am having trouble finding a cable 
Everytime I search for one I get the wrong type of ends. They all seem to be 'Reverse Polarity SMA' which have the pin on the male end.
The ones I have are with the pin on the female and the hole in the male. Anyone know a good source please?

Just to understand - you're after a cable with outside thread (male outer) and a female centre on one end and an inside thread (female outer)
and male centre on the other?
Can you make up your own cables or do you want to buy a pre-made cable?

OK, the camera has a male threaded end with a socket and the antenna has a female (thread inside) with the pin. I need a cable to extend so basically
I will need the same on each end of a cable. I can make my own assuming they do not need special crimping tools, if they are connected like
'F-type' connectors which screw onto the cable end then that will be fine. A made up cable would probably be as cheap if not cheaper and
easier if they are available.
Picture here shows the receiver and it's antenna, but the camera is exactly the same:

Nice one chap! That's the fella 
Scratch that, the postage is nearly as much as the cable!!
