Abstract
According to various embodiments, a cable and termination system includes a cable, a liquidtight conduit at least partially surrounding the cable, and a termination. The cable includes a cable core comprising three insulated phase conductors, three ground conductors, and filler interspersed within the cable core to force the ground connectors into symmetrical, geometric location with a corresponding phase conductor and a second phase conductor, and a cable wrap applied over the cable core. The termination includes a first connector, a second, reverse-threaded connector including an exterior metal body and a male metal body coupled with a collet sleeve. Various embodiments of the first connector are also described.
