    Abstract: A connector is configured to terminate an end of a coaxial cable. The connector includes a body, a nut, an outer conductor engager, and a grounding member. The body has a cable receiving end configured to receive the end of the coaxial cable, and the nut is configured to be coupled with and to rotate relative to the body. The outer conductor engager is configured to receive a conductive layer of end of the coaxial cable, and the grounding member is configured to couple the body, the nut, and the outer conductor engager in an assembled configuration. A first end of the grounding member is configured to extend grounding of the coaxial cable from the outer conductor engager to the nut, and a second end of the grounding member is configured to grip an outer protective jacket of the coaxial cable to prevent removal of the coaxial cable from the connector.
