Abstract: Disclosed is a cable connector assembly consisting of telescopically mateable male and female connector portions having means such as spirally wound insulating band around the male extension and winding tubing associated with the female receptacle for establishing an indirect, elongated fluid path to electrically isolate the situs of conductive coupling between the male and female connectors. Sealing means are provided to exclude sediment and marine life from the assembly when it is disposed underwater and cable terminator housings are connected with both male and female assemblies.
