Default Coaxial cable install

I just got my Firefly antenna. Waiting on the antenna mount from teraflex, should arrive today. Is there a coax connector that fits on the end of the antenna? It definitely doesnt hook up directly onto it! I am a newb to the cb stuff so help me out please!

Do you have a coax cable? If so, what connectors are on each end? I am assuming the base of the antenna is just threaded? If so that is 3/8X24 thread. There are various mounts you can get to attach the antenna to the TF bracket. It all depends on what connector you already have on the coax.

I do have the cable. I figured out there is a different kind that I need. Im taking it to a local cb expert that will get me fixed up.. tune it and everything. I appreciate the response.
