You may not find a local source since it's a non-standard connector.
Many people are just pulling the AP apart and replacing the internal
cables with ones that have N connectors.  Some have made adapters from
the reverse-TNC on the provided antennas; often with poor results.

Some info and sources:

Better antennas.  But you've figured that out.  ;-)

I'm working on a point-point link with a couple of parabolic dishes.
I'm going to try using 2300 MHz rated RG-6 for the feedline instead of
the more expensive LMR-400.  Other than impedance they have similar loss
characteristics and RG-6 is 1/100 the cost of LMR-400.
