Abstract
A technique enables protection of electrical conductors in a submerged environment, such as a wellbore environment. A connector system is deployed at the end of an electric cable to enable connection of the electric cable with a submersible component. The connector system comprises a connector body formed of a moldable material that is molded around at least one conductor of the electric cable. The moldable material insulates and protects the at least one conductor when the connector body is engaged with the submersible component.
