These adaptors sell for about $10 but they are not rewireable. I think the first step is to buy both connectors. Perhaps buy a $10 cable and cut it in half.
I still have some old rewireable serial cables from the old days when we used RS232 serial cables. Ths is a small plastic box with a cable coming out of each and. Inside the box is a PCB with two sets of email header pins on 01" spacing, The kit comes with a set of male-to mae jumper cables and we conet the sets of sockets as you like. Actually, it was better then that. There were a set of 25 DIP switches and if closed that connect the cables "one to one" and no jumper wire is needed. But if the switch was open yu used the jumper to connect any two pins. This worked back in the day of slow signals but would fail badly in today's world of USB-C and HDMI where signals are in the GHz range.
