Claim 13:
14. A method of detecting a presence of a plug connector at a port, the method comprising: blocking access to a port of a coupler before a plug connector is inserted into the port, wherein no presence is sensed at the port while the port is blocked; biasing a first member to a first position relative to the coupler while the port is blocked; inserting a plug connector within the port of the coupler along an insertion axis; moving the first member relative to the coupler from the first position to a second position through engagement with the plug connector, the first member being deflected towards a circuit board disposed external to the coupler when moved to the second position; and sensing the presence of the plug connector at the port when the first member is disposed in the second position.
