They're definitely rare. Not many people pull them out when stripping a station to its component pieces. I have one in a working station. While I could measure it, there's the actual splice box that joins the three pieces of coax, and I don't know if there's anything magical going on inside besides one solder joint.
I don't know if it could be duplicated with a common TEE connector. I do know that the leads between the output of the filter/duplexer and the TEE, and the TEE to the antenna jack on the side of the cabinet, are quite short, maybe one or two inches each. The line going to the receiver is much longer as it has to snake its way around and allow the RF tray to slide in and out. The location and color of the band at the splice box determines if the unit is used for tx freq > rx freq, or tx freq < rx freq, and also the band split: 403-438, 438-470, 470-512. I have a sheet on it somewhere, but it doesn't specify the cable lengths so you could make your own. I doubt the lengths are critical, due to the wide bandspread of the harness. If you don't really need the internal filter/duplexer, you might be better off with an external Bp/Br duplexer; at least it wouldn't need that expensive TEE cable. For the cost of buying a new cable from Motorola, you could almost buy a decent external duplexer. Plus the tuning would be a lot easier.
