    Abstract: A genderless interface connector pull tool is used for removing a membrane from a genderless interface connector. The tool may include a clamp and a hand grip. The clamp is configured to clamp a genderless interface connector and may include a top clamp coupled with a bottom clamp, and one or more rails located on a top surface of the top clamp. The hand grip may include a grip head which is formed with a hook and one or more openings. The hook is configured to engage with a tab of the genderless interface connector that is connected to a membrane. The one or more openings are dimensioned to fit with the one or more rails so that the hand grip can slide on the rails to pull the tab. Thus, the membrane connected to the tab can be removed from the genderless interface connector along the rails'direction.
