Motorola made a T1500 series duplexer with N connectors,
I have one or two. I received it with 214 jumpers, but
there's no way to know if they are original... of which
I doubt.
I use the Wireman silver plated (teflon type center) pl-259
connectors... solder only type. Be sure to get the UG-xxx
adapters to match the size of your smaller RG-58, 59 size
coax.
