neural jacks technology

Hi guys

I recently found out about neural jack technology in 2300ad.

Could someone give a plausible way for them to work?  I have some trouble
believing them: how can you, from a quite small area (the jack) tap into the
visual nerves (in form of the face), hearing nerves ( on each side of the
head), olfatory sensations (I never bothered to know where those go
throught) and touch and muscle movement (going through the back of the
neck).

And all that comes from a remarkebly conservative technology (just take a
look at surveillance stuff - almost(?) late 20th century).
