Abstract
A connector is provided for terminating coaxial cable. The connector includes a connector body having a cable receiving end and an opposed connection end. The connector includes a nut member, a collar, an inner post, and an axially movable locking sleeve. The annular sleeve is movable back and forth within a range between a first open position and a second closed position. In the open position, the inner post extends outwardly beyond a cable receiving end of the locking sleeve such that the post is exposed for easy insertion of the prepared end of a coaxial cable. Upon insertion of the prepared end of the coaxial cable, the annular sleeve can be moved or expanded into the closed position to allow the inserted cable to be clamped securely in the inner post and the annular sleeve of the connector body.
