It sounds like you're needing to combine a standard 7-Way lead, like the Hopkins 7-Way RV Style Connector with Molded Cable # HM20041, with a 7-Way round pin connector like the Pollak # PK11700. You will be able to connect the open end of the etrailer 7-Way wiring directly to the Pollak. Just keep in mind that for the standard 7-Way blade the turn and brake signals are combined while the 7-Pole connectors usually have those split into their own circuits.
This is a pretty unusual setup so if you have something else that you're needing done please feel free to send me some photos of the connectors you're trying to fit together and I'd be happy to help out any way that I can!
