Zusammenfassung:	The present invention relates to an interface joint for interconnecting an electrosurgical generator and an electrosurgical instrument. In particular, the invention relates to an interface joint comprising a coaxial cable assembly for connecting the interface joint to an electrosurgical instrument. The interface joint comprises a housing made of electrically insulating material, the housing having: an inlet for receiving radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic (EM) energy and/or microwave frequency EM energy from the electrosurgical generator, and an outlet; and a coaxial cable assembly for connecting the outlet to the electrosurgical instrument, the coaxial cable assembly comprising a first cable section and a second cable section, wherein the first cable section has a lower loss per unit length than the second cable section.
