1. An electric cable assembly, comprising:
an electric cable having at least one internal electrical conductor and an outer conductor shield;
an outer conductor element having an interior, the outer conductor element including at least one shoulder within the interior and a crimp region, the crimp region extending in an axial direction;
a support sleeve received within the interior of the outer conductor element, an end portion of the electric cable being received within the support sleeve, the support sleeve having a connector-side end and a cable-side end which are mutually separated from one another in the axial direction, at least a cable-side end portion of the support sleeve being tapered and underlying at least a portion of the crimp region of the outer conductor element, the support sleeve having an end-face stop, a first portion of the outer conductor shield being interposed between the end-face stop of the support sleeve and the shoulder of the outer conductor element; the end face-stop of the support sleeve being displaced axially toward the shoulder of the outer conductor element to electrically and mechanically fasten the first portion of the outer conductor shield between the end face-stop of the support sleeve and the shoulder of the outer conductor element as a result of applying a mechanical force to deform the crimp region of the outer conductor element.
