Abstract
The present disclosure introduces methods and apparatus for connecting first and second downhole components. A first interface of a first subassembly is coupled to a first component. The first subassembly includes a first connector. A second interface of a second subassembly is coupled to a second component. The second subassembly includes a body and a second connector extendable from the body. The second connector remains communicably connected to the second interface by a conductor extendable from and retractable into the body, including when the second connector is extended away from the body and coupled to the first connector.
