A method and apparatus for connecting flow-through cables (400, 402). Flow- through cables (400, 402) have a conduit or a plurality of conduits (412, 41 4) longitudinally placed inside the cable to allow fluid passage. Special terminators, joints, and methods for installing these devices are described herein. One method for connecting two flow-through cables involves: insertin g a tubing material (410) into the conduit (412) of one flow-through cable (400), placing a crimp connector (420) over the cable's conductive core (404 ) and crimping the crimp connector. The tubing material (410) is then placed into the conduit (414) of the second flow-through cable (402), the cables ar e aligned, and then the crimp connector (420) is fastened to the conductive co re (406) of the second flow-through cable (402). The termination assembly includes a rigid tubing material, a hollowed plug assembly that includes a single or a plurality of rigid tubes, a tubing connector connected to the single or plurality of rigid tubes, and a conductive terminator that has a cavity adapted to anchor a cable's conductive core and allow a flexible tubi ng material to attach to the single or plurality of rigid tubes while being routed through the conductive terminator.
