Abstract:
A panel mount connector assembly includes a panel mount bracket having a cavity with a front opening. The assembly includes a connector movably received in the cavity holding contacts at a mating end and cables extending from a cable end. The assembly includes a biasing mechanism received in the cavity engaging the connector and forward biasing the connector in the cavity. The biasing mechanism has a biasing force exceeding a mating force with the mating connector such that the connector remains forward biased in the cavity during mating with the mating connector. The biasing mechanism allows the connector to move rearward when the biasing force is exceeded.

Claim (Index 18):
A communication system comprising:\n a rack having a plurality of shelves coupled to the rack, each shelf having a rear panel including a panel cutout and a panel mount connector assembly received in the panel cutout can coupled to the rear panel, the panel mount connector assembly comprising:\n a panel mount bracket extending between a front and a rear, the panel mount bracket having a cavity open at the rear, the panel mount bracket having a front opening at the front open to the cavity, the panel mount bracket having a shoulder adjacent the front opening, the panel mount bracket configured to be mounted to the panel; \n a connector movably received in the cavity, the connector having a mating end and a cable end, the connector holding contacts at the mating end and having cables terminated to the contacts extending rearward from the cable end, the connector having an end wall in the cavity facing the shoulder; and \n a biasing mechanism received in the cavity, the biasing mechanism engaging the connector and forward biasing the connector in the cavity; and \n servers coupled to corresponding shelves, each server having a server host board and a mating connector electrically connected to the server host board, the mating connector being mated to the connector of the corresponding panel mount connector assembly when the server is coupled to the shelf; wherein the biasing mechanism has a biasing force exceeding a mating force with the mating connector such that the connector remains forward biased in the cavity during mating with the mating connector; and wherein the biasing mechanism allows the connector to move rearward when the biasing force is exceeded.
