Communication system having connector assembly

A connector assembly comprising:

• a connector module having a connector body received in a passage through a substrate, the connector body extending between a front side forward of the substrate and a rear side rearward of the substrate, the connector body including a floating element extending from the connector body, the connector body having contact channels therethrough between the front side and the rear side, the contact channels holding RF contacts in corresponding contact channels, the RF contacts being presented along the front side for engaging corresponding mating contacts of a mating connector in a mating direction along a mating axis, the connector module including coaxial cables coupled to the RF contacts;
• and
• a mounting frame coupled to the substrate, the mounting frame including a front plate forward of the substrate and a rear plate rearward of the substrate, the rear plate being secured to a rear surface of the substrate, the front plate being secured to a front surface of the substrate, the front plate having a locating element extending from the front plate, the locating element being spaced apart from the front surface of the substrate to form a float pocket forward of the front surface of the substrate between the locating element and the substrate, the float pocket receiving the floating element of the connector body, the float pocket being oversized relative to the floating element and defining a confined space to allow floating movement of the floating element in the float pocket relative to the mounting frame and the substrate to allow a limited amount of floating movement of the connector module relative to the substrate in a lateral direction that is perpendicular to the mating direction.

A connector assembly comprising:

• a connector module having a connector body received in a passage through a substrate, the connector body extending between a front side forward of the substrate and a rear side rearward of the substrate, the connector body including a floating element extending from the connector body, the connector body having a first contact channel therethrough between the front side and the rear side and a second contact channel therethrough between the front side and the rear side, the first contact channels holding an RF contact, the RF contact being presented along the front side for engaging a corresponding mating contact of a mating connector in a mating direction along a mating axis, the second contact channel holding a fiber optic connector, the fiber optic connector being presented along the front side for mating with a mating fiber optic connector in the mating direction, the connector module including a fiber optic cable coupled to the fiber optic connector, the connector module including a coaxial cable coupled to the RF contact;
• and
• a mounting frame coupled to the substrate, the mounting frame having a locating element extending from the mounting frame, the locating element being spaced apart from the substrate to form a float pocket between the locating element and the substrate, the float pocket receiving the floating element of the connector body, the float pocket being oversized relative to the floating element and defining a confined space to allow floating movement of the floating element in the float pocket relative to the mounting frame and the substrate to allow a limited amount of floating movement of the connector module relative to the substrate in a lateral direction that is perpendicular to the mating direction.
