A connector is provided for attachment to a coaxial cable. The connector includes, in one embodiment, a connector body and a locking sleeve. The locking sleeve is configured to be moved between an attached and a detached state. In each such state, the locking sleeve is configured to receive the end of the cable. In one position, the locking sleeve is configured to lock the end of the cable to the connector body.

1. A connector configured to be attached to an end of a coaxial cable, the connector comprising: a connector body having a rearward end configured to receive a cable end of a coaxial cable; anda locking sleeve configured to move between an attached state, where the locking sleeve is attached to the rearward end of the connector body, and a detached state, where the locking sleeve is detached from the rearward end of the connector body,wherein the locking sleeve includes a first annular surface and a second annular surface that define a valley there between,wherein the connector body includes an inner rib adjacent the rearward end, andwherein, when the locking sleeve is in the attached state, the locking sleeve is configured to slide between: (i) a first position wherein the inner rib is resident within the valley, and wherein the locking sleeve is configured to be detachable from the rearward end of the connector body when the locking sleeve is moved rearward relative to the connector body,(ii) an intermediate position wherein the inner rib is moved rearward beyond the valley and the locking sleeve and the connector body are configured to be slidably movable relative to each other, and(iii) a second position, wherein the locking sleeve is configured to be non-detachably locked to the rearward end of the connector body. 2. The connector of claim 1, wherein, in the first position, the first annular surface is disposed forwardly relative to the inner rib, and wherein, in the intermediate position, the first annular surface and the second annular surface are disposed forwardly relative to the inner rib. 3. The connector of claim 1, wherein, in the first position, the first annular surface is disposed forwardly relative to the inner rib, and wherein the first annular surface includes a chamfered rearward surface configured to accommodate detachment of the locking sleeve from the rearward end of the connector body via relative sliding movement between the locking sleeve and the connector body. 4. The connector of claim 1, wherein the each one of the first annular surface and the second annular surface has (i) a rearward ramp portion configured to face in the rearward direction; and (ii) a forward ramp portion configured to face in a forward direction opposite of the rearward direction. 5. The connector of claim 4, wherein the ramp portions accommodate relative movement of the connector body and the locking sleeve between the detached state and the attached state and between the first position and the intermediate position. 6. The connector of claim 1, wherein, in the first position, the valley is configured to engage the inner rib so as to resist relative sliding movement between the locking sleeve and the connector body. 7. The connector of claim 1, wherein the inner rib is adjacent to a first portion of the connector body having an inner diameter greater than an inner diameter of a second portion of the connector body, the connector body further comprises an angled interior portion extending between the first and second portions. 8. The connector of claim 1, wherein the locking sleeve comprises a resilient material. 9. The connector of claim 1, wherein the locking sleeve comprises a sealing element configured to engage the connector body when the coaxial cable is locked to the connector body in the second position. 10. A connector, comprising: a connector body having a rearward end configured to receive a cable end of a coaxial cable, the connector body including an annular rib; anda locking sleeve including a first annular surface and a second annular surface that define a valley there between, the locking sleeve being configured to move between an attached state, where the locking sleeve is attached to the rearward end of the connector body, and a detached state, where the locking sleeve is detached from the rearward end of the connector body,wherein, when the locking sleeve is in the attached state, the locking sleeve is configured to slide between (i) a first position, wherein the inner rib is resident within the valley, and (ii) a second position, wherein the locking sleeve is configured to be non-detachably locked to the rearward end of the connector body, andwherein, in an intermediate position between the first position and the second position, the inner rib is moved rearward beyond the valley, and the locking sleeve and the connector body are configured to be slidably movable relative to each other. 11. The connector of claim 10, wherein, in the first position, the locking sleeve is configured to be detachable from the rearward end of the connector body. 12. The connector of claim 11, wherein, in the intermediate position, the locking sleeve is configured to be detachable from the rearward end of the connector body. 13. The connector of claim 10, wherein, in the first position and in the intermediate position, the locking sleeve is configured to be detachable from the rearward end of the connector body when the locking sleeve is moved rearward relative to the connector body. 14. The connector of claim 10, wherein each one of the first annular surface and the second annular surface has (i) a rearward ramp portion configured to face in the rearward direction; and (ii) a forward ramp portion configured to face in a forward direction opposite of the rearward direction. 15. The connector of claim 14, wherein the ramp portions accommodate relative movement of the connector body and the locking sleeve between the detached state and the attached state and between the first position and the intermediate position. 16. The connector of claim 10, wherein the connector is configured to loosely retain the coaxial cable within the connector when the locking sleeve is in the first position. 17. The connector of claim 10, wherein the inner rib comprises a first rib wall adjacent to the rearward end and a chamfered second rib wall opposite the first rib wall, the first rib wall being perpendicular to the connector body in a radial direction relative to a longitudinal axis of the connector. 18. The connector of claim 10, wherein the inner rib is adjacent to a first portion of the connector body having an inner diameter greater than an inner diameter of a second portion of the connector body, the connector body further comprises an angled interior portion extending between the first and second portions. 19. The connector of claim 10, wherein the locking sleeve comprises a resilient material. 20. The connector of claim 10, wherein the locking sleeve comprises a sealing element configured to engage the connector body when the coaxial cable is locked to the connector body in the second position.
