1. A coaxial cable-connector assembly, comprising;

  • (a) a coaxial cable, comprising;

    an inner conductor;

    a dielectric layer circumferentially surrounding the inner conductor;

    an outer conductor circumferentially surrounding the dielectric layer; and

    a jacket circumferentially surrounding the outer conductor;

    (b) a coaxial connector, comprising;

    an inner contact electrically connected with the inner conductor;

    an outer body spaced apart from and circumferentially surrounding the inner contact; and

    a dielectric spacer interposed between the inner contact and the outer body;

    (c) a rear body having a main section, a rear collet extending rearwardly from the main section, and a front engagement structure that coordinates with the outer body to engage the outer conductor, wherein the rear collet includes a plurality of fingers; and

    (d) a nut having a threaded section and a tapered inner surface;

    wherein engagement of the nut with a threaded section on the rear body advances the nut forwardly so that the tapered inner surface of the nut deflects the rear collet to engage the cable jacket; and

    wherein the front engagement structure is a front collet that extends forwardly from the main section, and wherein engagement of the front collet with the outer body deflects the front collet to engage the outer conductor.
