A coaxial cable connector configured to couple a coaxial cable having a conductive shield around a dielectric insulator and a mating connector is provided. The coaxial cable connector includes a fastener configured to engage the mating connector, a body coupled to the fastener, and a post received within the fastener, the post comprising a non-conductive plastic member having a conductive plating applied to the exterior thereof. The conductive plating is configured to provide a conductive path between the conductive shield of the coaxial cable and at least one of the fastener and the mating connector.
