Abstract
An electronic interface includes a metallic tube that functions as a waveguide below cutoff (WBC). A non-conductive rod inside the metallic tube may be manipulated to engage a connection device to the interface, within a shielded enclosure. The metallic tube defines a locating recess and the non-conductive wand defines a keying/pulling feature to engage the locating recess. The keying/pulling feature may orient the non-conductive wand to facilitate the connection device engaging the interface.
