An electrical connector includes a connector housing having a mating end at a front of the connector housing configured to be mating with a mating electrical connector. The connector housing includes a contact module chamber. An electrical connector includes a stack of contact modules received in the contact module chamber. Each contact module includes a module body holding a plurality of contacts. The contacts have mating ends at the mating end of the connector housing for mating with the mating electrical connector; and an electrical connector includes a contact module biasing members between the contact modules and the connector housing to forward bias the contact modules in the contact module chamber, wherein the contact module biasing members are compressible to allow the contact modules to move independent from each other relative to the connector housing in the contact module chamber when mating with the mating electrical connector.

An assembly for terminating a high speed cable. The assembly includes a shell housing having a mating end and a conductor receiving end. A mating portion extends from the mating end. The mating portion has a contact receiving opening with an inside wall which extends circumferentially around the opening. A crosstalk shield is provided in the shell housing. Contacts are positioned in the contact receiving opening of the housing. The contacts terminate high speed conductors of the high speed cable. A nonconductive component is provided on the inside wall in the mating portion of the shell housing. The nonconductive component electrically and physically isolates the contacts from the shell housing.
