Coaxial cable connector with alignment and compression features

A coaxial cable connector comprising:

• a cylindrical body including a longitudinal axis, the body comprising:
• a coaxial outer barrel having a sidewall bounding an interior space, the outer barrel having a front end, an opposed rear end, and an inner compression band formed in the sidewall between the front and rear ends;
• and
• a coaxial inner post within the interior space, the coaxial inner post having a front end extending beyond the front end of the outer barrel, and a rear end proximate to the rear end of the outer barrel;
• a coaxial compression collar applied to the rear end of the outer barrel, the compression collar including a front end, an opposed rear end, and an outer compression band formed therebetween encircling the inner compression band formed in the outer barrel;
• the outer compression band includes opposed first and second wall portions, each oriented radially inward toward a bend defining a living hinge formed between the first and second wall portions;
• the inner compression band includes a first ridge portion, a second ridge portion, and a bend defining a living hinge formed between the first and second ridge portions;
• and
• the inner and outer compression bands move between an uncompressed position and a compressed position in response to axial compression of the coaxial cable connector;
• wherein in response to movement from the uncompressed position to the compressed position, the outer compression band bears against the inner compression band to deform the inner compression band radially inward toward the inner post.
