Sealable fiber optic cable connection system

A connection assembly configured to hermetically couple a fiber optic cable having a cover directly abutting a circumference of the fiber optic cable to a sensor assembly, the connection assembly comprising:

• a housing having an opening extending therethrough, wherein an inner surface of the opening is provided with threads configured to secure the housing to corresponding threads provided on the sensor assembly;
• and
• at least one ferrule positioned within the opening of the housing, wherein the opening of the housing and the at least one ferrule are configured to receive the fiber optic cable therethrough during a connection operation, and wherein the at least one ferrule is configured to penetrate the cover of the fiber optic cable to provide a hermetic connection between the sensor assembly and the fiber optic cable as the housing is secured to the sensor assembly.
