Methods for communicatively coupling components at down-hole locations within a wellbore (10) include introducing first and second cables (32) through which signals are transmissible into the wellbore (10). Terminal ends (52, 54) of the cables (26, 32) are coarsely aligned by coupling connector housings (28, 34) associated with the cables (26, 32) within the wellbore (10). The terminal ends (52, 54) are then finely aligned by activating motors (60, 62, 64) to move at least one of the terminal ends (52, 54) within the connector housings (28, 34) until a signal of sufficient strength is transmissible between the first and second cables (32). |
