A method and apparatus for connecting flow-through cables. Flow-through cables have a conduit or a plurality of conduits 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: inserting a tubing material into the conduit of one flow-through cable, placing a crimp connector over the cable's conductive core and crimping the crimp connector. The tubing material is then placed into the conduit of the second flow-through cable, the cables are aligned, and then the crimp connector is fastened to the conductive core of the second flow-through cable. 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 tubing material to attach to the single or plurality of rigid tubes while being routed through the conductive terminator.
