Abstract
A conductive tubular member surrounding an optical fiber and its connector termination. When the fiber connector termination engages a complementary connector extending through an opening in a conductive faceplate of an electronics system, the tubular member engages the securement nut holding the connector to the faceplate to function as a waveguide which attenuates radiation leaking from non-conductive gaps in the faceplate and connector. In addition, the tubular member functions as a ground path for electrostatic discharges.
