The actuator is configured to move the connector head in parallel with the longitudinal axis of the wired drill pipe before moving it away from said wired drill pipe when decoupling the connector head from the wired drill pipe, and to move the connector head into the longitudinal axis of the wired drill pipe before moving it in parallel with said longitudinal axis when coupling the connector head to the wired drill pipe.
