You probably mean capacitors between center conductor and shield?

Yes, I've seen those, too. They actually come in 3 variants: DC-blocking 
on the center conductor, on the outer conductor, or both.

None of these is what I mean, though. I meant DC-blocking between outer 
conductor and chassis, on a passthru connector that blocks DC on neither 
the center conductor nor the outer conductor. I've no idea why this is 
not a common item, just as feedthru capacitors for single wires are.
