Coaxial cable connector sleeve

A torque sleeve comprising:

• a sleeve body configured to extend along an axis, the sleeve body having a first end and an opposite second end along the axis, the sleeve body being further configured to at least partially receive a coaxial cable connector, the first end of the sleeve body comprising an integral sleeve portion extending inward from the sleeve body, the integral sleeve portion defining a first interference structure;
• wherein the torque sleeve is configured to be axially moved from a first position, where the second end of the torque sleeve encircles a first end of a rotatable coupler of the coaxial cable connector when the coaxial cable connector is in an assembled state, to a second position, where (i) the second end of the torque sleeve extends beyond a second end of the rotatable coupler along the axis and encircles a cable connected to the coaxial cable connector and (ii) the integral sleeve portion is configured to snap-fit over a shoulder portion of the rotatable coupler so as to retain an axial position of the torque sleeve relative to the coaxial cable connector when the coaxial cable connector is in the assembled state;
• wherein, in the second position, the first interference structure is configured to engage a second interference structure disposed on the rotatable coupler, the engagement between the first interference structure and the second interference structure interfering with relative axial movement between the torque sleeve and the rotatable coupler in both directions along the axis;
• and
• wherein, in the second position, the torque sleeve is configured to facilitate rotation about a first portion of the connector when the torque sleeve engages a second portion of the coupler and is configured so that movement from the first to the second position comprises axial movement that occurs after the coaxial cable connector is in the assembled state.
