Cable connector with sliding ring compression

A coaxial cable connector, comprising:

• a connector body having an inside surface, an outside surface, an intermediate portion, and a cable receiving end;
• a nut rotatably coupled to the forward end of the connector body;
• an annular post fixedly received within the connector body to form a cavity between the annular post and the inside surface of the connector body, wherein the connector body and the post are configured to receive a portion of a coaxial cable in the cavity between the annular post and the inside surface of the connector body;
• and
• a compression ring positioned entirely axially rearward of the nut and on the outside surface of the connector body, wherein movement of the compression ring from the intermediate portion of the connector body toward the cable receiving end of the connector body causes inward compression of the cable receiving end of the connector body to reduce a size of the cavity between the annular post and the inside surface of the connector body.
