For the EU DEMO Tokamak, Electron Cyclotron (EC) launching systems for plasma heating and stabilization are under development. Various concepts for the optical system are currently studied of which the Mid Steering Antenna (MSA) with a steering mirror at a recessed position behind the breeding blanket (BB), the Open Ended Waveguide (OEWG) concept with quasi-optical beam propagation by fixed mirrors only and the Remote Steering Antenna (RSA), currently seen as back- up solution, are the basic ones. In addition, hybrid solutions, which means a port plug with different launcher concepts, are taken into consideration. In parallel, design drafts for a generic equatorial port plug are sketched with the aim to provide a versatile structural system, which allows customized installation of the potential optical systems. This paper presents a pre- conceptual hybrid design of an equatorial EU DEMO EC port plug based on MSA for plasma stabilization and OEWG for plasma heating, taking into account the exact port position with respect to the toroidal field coil, mechanical integrity, heat dissipation, neutronic shielding requirements, design integration and maintenance concepts.
