Claim 18:
19. A compression assembly for an electronic package of a communication system, the compression assembly comprising:
at least one cover assembly configured to be coupled to an upper surface of the electronic package over interposer assemblies and cable connector modules coupled to the upper surface of the electronic package, each cover assembly including a cover having a plate and walls extending from the plate to form at least one connector module cavity configured to receive the corresponding cable connector module, the plate including at least one window associated with the corresponding connector module cavity;
bridge assemblies received in corresponding connector module cavities and extending through the corresponding windows, each bridge assembly having a plurality of plates arranged in a plate stack, the plates including upper edges and lower edges, the lower edges configured to engage the cable connector module housing; and
a load plate coupled to the at least one cover assembly using compression hardware that imparts a compression force, the load plate having a bottom surface engaging the upper edges of the plates of the bridge assemblies, wherein the load plate presses against the plates of the bridge assemblies with the compression force to drive the bridge assemblies into the cable connector modules, the compression force configured to compress interposer contacts of the interposer assemblies when the load plate presses the plates of the bridge assemblies into the cable connector modules.
