A post-less coaxial cable connector for coupling an end of a coaxial cable to a terminal, the coaxial cable comprising an inner conductor, a dielectric surrounding the inner conductor, an outer conductor surrounding the dielectric, and a jacket surrounding the outer conductor, the post-less coaxial cable connector comprising: a body having an internal surface extending between a front end and a rear end of the body, the internal surface defining a longitudinal opening, and a collapsible groove disposed between the front and rear ends (214, 216) in an outer surface of the body; a shell having an outer surface and an internal surface, the internal surface defining an opening through the shell, characterized in that the internal surface of the shell is slidingly engaging at least a portion of the rear end of the body, the outer surface of the body has an annular projection adjacent the rear end of the body and the shell has at a front end an annular ring to engage and to be retained on the body by the annular projection of the body to prevent the shell from falling of the rear end of the body, a compression ring is disposed within the shell and engaging the rear end of the body, the compression ring having an internal surface and at least a portion of the internal surface having projections disposed around at least a portion thereof, in a compressed status of the post-less coaxial cable connector the projections of the compression ring engage the jacket of the coaxial cable to prevent rotation of the coaxial cable relative to the post-less coaxial cable connector, and in the compressed status of the post-less coaxial cable connector a portion of the body comprising a portion of the collapsible groove is compressed radially inwardly to engage the outer conductor of the coaxial cable. a body having an internal surface extending between a front end and a rear end of the body, the internal surface defining a longitudinal opening, and a collapsible groove disposed between the front and rear ends (214, 216) in an outer surface of the body; a shell having an outer surface and an internal surface, the internal surface defining an opening through the shell, characterized in that the internal surface of the shell is slidingly engaging at least a portion of the rear end of the body, the outer surface of the body has an annular projection adjacent the rear end of the body and the shell has at a front end an annular ring to engage and to be retained on the body by the annular projection of the body to prevent the shell from falling of the rear end of the body, a compression ring is disposed within the shell and engaging the rear end of the body, the compression ring having an internal surface and at least a portion of the internal surface having projections disposed around at least a portion thereof, in a compressed status of the post-less coaxial cable connector the projections of the compression ring engage the jacket of the coaxial cable to prevent rotation of the coaxial cable relative to the post-less coaxial cable connector, and in the compressed status of the post-less coaxial cable connector a portion of the body comprising a portion of the collapsible groove is compressed radially inwardly to engage the outer conductor of the coaxial cable.
