An assembly for connecting a coaxial cable to a connecting port. The connecting assembly has a tubular fitting with a central axis and axially spaced first and second ends. The tubular fitting is operatively engageable with a coaxial cable directed into axially overlapping relationship with the tubular fitting at the first end of the tubular fitting. The tubular fitting has a first connecting assembly including a first connecting part that is movable around the central axis selectively in (a) a first direction to a secured state and (b) oppositely to the first direction from the secured state into a released state. In the secured state, the first connecting part maintains a coaxial cable, operatively engaged with the tubular fitting, connected to the connecting port. A shield assembly blocks radial access to the first connecting assembly in a manner that allows the first connecting part to be accessed and moved from the secured state into the released state with the shield assembly in the operative state. The shield assembly cooperates with the tubular fitting to allow the shield assembly to be placed, and maintained, in the operative state by relative axial movement of the shield assembly and tubular fitting.
