Antenna units and system that has an antenna with at least one docking station, at least one radio unit; and at least one interconnect that includes first and second mating connectors. The first connector is configured to be electrically and mechanically coupled to the antenna and the second connector is configured to be electrically and mechanically coupled to the at least one radio unit. The interconnect has radial and axial float for blind mating of the first and second mating connectors. The first connector is mounted on the at least one docking station via a mounting body such that space for the radial float is provided between the mounting body and a housing of the first connector.
