Floating connector assembly

A connector assembly comprising:

• a connector holder having a frame defining a connector chamber, the frame extending between a front and a rear of the connector holder, the frame including an upper frame member, a lower frame member, and first and second side frame members extending between the upper and lower frame members to define the connector chamber, the frame including a rear frame member extending between the first and second side frame members and between the upper and lower frame members rearward of the connector chamber, wherein the upper frame member, the lower frame member, the first side frame member, the second side frame member, and the rear frame member being fixed relative to each other;
• a cable connector received in the connector chamber, the cable connector including a connector housing holding contact assemblies, each contact assembly including a signal contact and a cable terminated to the signal contact;
• a biasing assembly operably coupled to the rear frame member between the cable connector and the rear frame member of the connector holder, the biasing assembly including a biasing member and a slider, the slider being coupled to the cable connector and holding the cable connector relative to the frame, the slider slidably coupled to the frame and movable between a forward position and a rearward position, the biasing member coupled to the slider and coupled to the rear frame member, the biasing member forward biasing the slider and the cable connector to the forward position, the biasing member being compressible in a rearward compression direction when the slider and the cable connector are moved to the rearward position.

A connector assembly comprising:

• a connector holder having a frame defining a connector chamber, the frame extending between a front and a rear of the connector holder, the frame including a brick having an upper frame member, a lower frame member, and first and second side frame members extending between the upper and lower frame members to define the connector chamber, the frame including a rear frame member rearward of the brick extending between the first and second side frame members and between the upper and lower frame members, wherein the upper frame member, the lower frame member, the first side frame member, the second side frame member, and the rear frame member being fixed relative to each other, the brick including a channel;
• a cable connector received in the connector chamber and coupled to the brick, the cable connector including a connector housing holding contact assemblies, each contact assembly including a signal contact and a cable terminated to the signal contact;
• a biasing assembly operably coupled to the rear frame member between the cable connector and the rear frame member of the connector holder, the biasing assembly including a biasing member and a slider, the slider being received in the channel, the slider having a rear end coupled to the rear frame member, the slider including a front end having a panel mount forward of the brick configured to be mounted to a panel, wherein the brick is slidable along the slider between a forward position and a rearward position, the biasing member coupled between the rear frame member and the brick, the biasing member forward biasing the brick and the cable connector to the forward position, the biasing member being compressible in a rearward compression direction when the brick and the cable connector are moved to the rearward position.
