Abstract
A coaxial cable end connecter includes an outer barrel, an inner tube, and a female receptacle. The connector is fixed to a coaxial cable by axial compression of the outer barrel which has collapsible bands. The collapsible bands have a shallow V-shaped cross section and are bracketed by undercut surfaces. These structural features ensure that the collapsible bands will fold without cracking or leaving gaps between the non-collapsible portions of the outer barrel.
