Abstract
A quick connect and release mechanism is provided for a coaxial cable connector comprising a first connector body having an annular cavity accessible by a tubular opening. A conical retention ring is disposed in the annular cavity and engaging at least one radial step form along a rearwardly facing surface of the annular cavity and, furthermore, being configured to engage a retention surface of a second connector body upon insertion of a tubular sleeve thereof. Furthermore, a retention ring engager is disposed over a portion of the first connector body and has a sleeve portion extending into the tubular opening to urge the retention ring from engagement with the at least one radial step while also disengaging the retention surface of the second connector. As a consequence, the second connector is released from the first connector.
