A coaxial cable connector may include an insulator member including a forward portion, and a rearward portion extending rearwardly from the forward portion. The rearward portion may include a tubular outer conductor support portion for supporting an interior surface of the outer conductor of the end of the coaxial cable. The tubular outer conductor support portion may include a sidewall having a plurality of spaced apart hollow cavities extending therein. These cavities may advantageously provide the impedance matching and may be readily formed during manufacturing of the insulator member, such as by molding, for example. The connector may further include a housing having a forward and rearward ends and a medial portion therebetween, and a back nut threadingly engaging the rearward end of the connector housing. The insulator member may be positioned within the medial portion of the connector housing. A contact may be carried within the bore of the insulator member for connecting to the inner conductor of the end of the coaxial cable.
