Can't find a 7.4 x 5.08mm female chassis mount socket - am I using the wrong description? (discuss.tchncs.de)

I have a 12v 6.67A power supply with a male co-axial plug (with centre pin) that's 7.4mm OD and 5.08mm ID. The metal tube is 12.5mm long.

The pin is recessed and about 1mm in diameter - which seems impossibly small for 6.67A.

A chassis mount socket that would take it would come in handy. But I don't seem to be able to find one. Am I just using the wrong search terms?

Any pointers much appreciated.

I guess you could check if it's a physical fit for an HP (or Dell or Samsung) one and then go to ebay or aliexpress and buy a corresponding "laptop charger socket". Though they're all board mount. I don't know if any panel mount ones even exist.

Thanks for the suggestion - I think that there are inline adapters to a different plug, but finding a different coaxial plug that will handle that current could prove challenging.
