1. A coaxial cable termination device comprising:

  • a barrel including opposed front and rear ends and a circumferential channel;

    a collet at the front end of the barrel;

    a sleeve mounted over the barrel for reciprocal movement between a retracted position, in which the sleeve allows expansion and compression of the collet, and an advanced position, in which the sleeve prevents expansion and urges compression of the collet;

    a locking mechanism which locks the sleeve into the advanced position, wherein the locking mechanism includes a visual indicator which is concealed when the sleeve is in the retracted position and which is exposed when the sleeve is in the advanced position; and

    the locking mechanism includes an arm pivoted to the sleeve at a pivot for movement between an unlocked position of the arm and a locked position of the arm in which a tooth on the arm is disposed within the circumferential channel, and a lever opposite the arm from the pivot to release the arm from the locked position.
