two local sources here in the Seattle area are DataPro and Redmond Cable:

either of which should have something like this for you.  

When I had a Hydra ethernet card in an old A3000D (sold it, the hub and coax all together last year) I used it with Miami and used the coax terminators I got with the two x-surf cards I have - it comes with them as it has coax output as well as the more usual (these days) RJ45.  So if you know someone with an x-surf, they should have at least one of these terminators laying around.

If you can find an older hub (ebay) they often had ONE coax junction with the other usual 4 or 8 RJ45, which is what I used with my old computer - I sold the hub with that computer to allow the buyer to network without hassle.  You have to terminate each end, the end that hooks to the computer, and the end that hooks to the hub, on the assumption you have only one coax computer on the network (otherwise you can 't' into the back of at least one of them without terminating it).
