A connector for a connection assembly for providing electrical power to a submersible electrical component in a deepwater environment, such as a subsea well, includes a ceramic body having a metallized inner passageway. A conductive contact extends through the passageway and has a contact end and a cable connecting end. A conductive sleeve is disposed about an outer surface of the ceramic body. The ceramic body is retained within a connector housing that has an interface chamber and a cable retaining chamber. The contact end of the connector contact is disposed within the interface chamber, and the cable connecting end of the contact is disposed within the cable retaining chamber. The sleeve is attached to the housing to provide a seal between the interface chamber and the cable retaining chamber. When the connector is engaged with a complementary connector, a Faraday cage is provided within the interface chamber to manage the electrical field about the connection interface between the connectors.
