Abstract
A waveguide connector assembly includes a waveguide connector having a first end, a second end opposite the first end, and a body having a length that extends axially between the first end and the second end. The body has an interior surface and an exterior surface, the waveguide connector being configured to receive a waveguide at the first end. The waveguide connector assembly further includes a movable sleeve having a first end, a second end opposite the first end, a body extending axially between the first end and the second end, and an actuating surface. The movable sleeve is configured to slide axially along the exterior surface of the waveguide connector, the actuating surface being configured to prevent axial movement of the waveguide when the movable sleeve is in an actuating position.
