Abstract

The present invention provides a protector assembly and process for protecting a downhole connection of a line (e.g., fiber optic or electrical) from the wellbore environment. Inside the housing that provides protection from the wellbore environment is a subassembly that provides anchoring to prevent movement of the cables' internal components that may damage the spliced connection.
