The pressure inside the pressure vessel is maintained at a predetermined pressure and an antenna is provided in the sensor system. The pressure vessel includes an electromagnetically transparent section to permit electromagnetic waves to pass between the sensor system and an external receiver. The sensor system is configured to be mounted between a back end and a front end of the receptacle connector body, or between a back end and a front end of the plug connector body; or configured to be mounted to the connector body back end.
