An assembly for use in a laser wire stripping apparatus that has a single piece channel assembly which has a pathway for allowing a light source to travel through the channel assembly to a cylindrical cavity in the channel assembly. The UE may receive a request to perform a tune away operation for the second RAT while performing measurement for the first RAT. The components are connected to the conductor via entry points through which a conductive member can penetrate one of the layers and thereby establish contact between the conductor and electronic components.
