A cable-connector system advantageously used with flexible, relatively small diameter coaxial cable and connectors, including a coaxial cable with a foam dielectric surrounding an inner conductor; and a tubular outer conductor surrounding the foam dielectric, the outer conductor being composed of aluminum or aluminum alloy and having helical corrugations; and a connector, having: a connector body having a hollow bore with internal perturbations keyed to the helical corrugations and arranged to retentively receive and secure the connector on the cable when the connector is screwed onto the cable with the corrugations engaging the perturbations; the connector body having a crimp section adapted to be compressed by a connector crimping tool; the crimp section configured such that when crimped, the crimp section deforms inwardly and distorts the cable outer conductor corrugations to prevent relative rotation between the cable and the connector body and interlock the connector and cable.
