I need to "roll my own" in this case. I will detach the 4-pin connector of my IC-7300 and replace it with an optional board to enable separate receive antenna. I will then drill a small hole in the radio's rear panel to pass the four wires of an an extension to connect the original connector to a duplicate outside the radio. Thus adding a capability and retaining the original.

The LDG IC-PAC-6 tuner cable is plug-n-play with Icoms that support the
mating external tuner connector. It is 6’ long and costs $12 (plus
shipping). The cable also comes in a 14” version. I have used them for
years on LDG tuners and now on a KAT500 with my IC-7610.
