micro-RF connector crimping options

Do micro-RF connector mating crimp connectors are ever sold separately together with a crimp tool? For example this![Image_alt_text](https://electrical.codidact.com/uploads/ta90sg6lfcr1idmcc02x6ljbp7df)

I have looked through a lot of pages, and can only find PCB connectors + cable assemblies sold. Are RF connectors manufacturer specific and they do not share the crimp tool / separate crimp connectors?

So far I have looked at Molex, Hirose, Murata, Rosenberger and a few other manufacturers and their connector lineups, I even sent an e-mail to some of them asking about it but no response so far. 

The reason I am asking is I want to use a specific coaxial cable, and I thought that as long as it matches the AWG core size and insulation parameters that fit the connector, I should be able to pick a different cable.

Any experience with this is appreciated!
