Claim 15:
16. A communication system comprising:
a first circuit board assembly including a first circuit board, a first connector mount coupled to the first circuit board, and a first electrical connector coupled to the first connector mount, the first electrical connector having a first connector housing holding first contacts in a contact array, the first connector housing having a mating end and a cable end, the first electrical connector having cables terminated to the first contacts and extending from the cable end, the first connector housing having a first mounting feature, the first connector mount having a first bracket coupled to a mounting surface of the first circuit board proximate to a mating edge, the first connector mount having a first biasing member coupled to the first bracket and coupled to the first mounting feature of the first electrical connector, the first biasing member being compressible along a compression axis to allow the first electrical connector to float relative to the first circuit board; and
a second circuit board assembly including a second circuit board and a second electrical connector coupled to the second circuit board, the second electrical connector having a second connector housing holding second contacts in a contact array, the second connector housing having a mating end coupled to the mating end of the first connector housing along a mating axis;
wherein the first biasing member is compressible between the first bracket and the first connector housing to allow the first electrical connector to float relative to the first circuit board along the mating axis; and
wherein the first electrical connector includes ground shields at the mating end providing electrical shielding for the contacts, the ground shields configured to be electrically connected to the second electrical connector.
