The coaxial cable includes: an inner conductor; a dielectric layer circumferentially surrounding the inner conductor; an outer conductor circumferentially surrounding the dielectric layer, the outer conductor having an inner surface and an outer surface; and a jacket circumferentially surrounding the outer conductor. The coaxial connector includes: an inner contact electrically connected with the inner conductor; an outer connector body spaced apart from and circumferentially surrounding the inner contact, the outer connector body including a first securing feature; and a dielectric spacer interposed between the inner contact and the outer body. The rear body has a main section and a front collet with forwardly-extending fingers, the fingers engaging the outer surface of the outer conductor of the cable, the fingers including a second securing feature, wherein the second securing feature engages the first securing feature to maintain the outer connector body and the rear body in position on the cable.

The invention is characterized in that a HF coaxial cable is designed as a conventional corrugated sheath cable comprising a cable outer conductor, in the form of a metal corrugated tube, having a line impedance Z.sub.k and a minimum bending radius r.sub.k,min specified by the manufacturer as a characteristic feature of the coaxial cable; in corrugated sheath cable, directly or indirectly following the straight plug connector, is bent to have a bending radius r.sub.α, where 0.2 r.sub.k,min≦r.sub.α≦0.9 r.sub.k,min, which alters the line impedance Z.sub.k by a maximum of 1 ohm. The bend with the bending radius r.sub.α is produced by cold forming corrugated sheath cable with the introduction of bending forces and tensile forces directed along said corrugated sheath cable.
