Claim:
A secure communications connector system, comprising: (a) at least one assembly defining (i) a front opening cavity adapted to accept a first mating connector; and (ii) a rear opening cavity adapted to accept a second mating connector; (b) at least one security feature positioned on a bottom surface of the front opening cavity adapted to prevent communication between the first mating connector and the second mating connector during insertion of an illegitimate connector; wherein the at least one security feature includes: (i) an inner door having a mating keying boss; (ii) an outer door defining at least one aperture adapted to allow for a protruding keying boss to pass through the outer door to apply pressure to the mating keying boss; and (iii) a torsion spring adapted to hold the outer door upright in the absence of external pressure; and wherein the first mating connector hosts the protruding keying boss extending outwardly towards the security feature adapted to apply pressure to the mating keying boss of the inner door if the first mating connector is legitimately keyed.
