Claim:
1. A method of establishing communication between wellbore components, the method comprising: introducing a first cable to a down-hole location within a wellbore, the first cable including a first connector housing and a first core through which signals are transmissible, the first core extending into the first connector housing and a defining a first terminal end therein; introducing a second cable to the down-hole location, the second cable including a second connector housing and a second core through which signals are transmissible, the second core extending into the second connector housing and a defining a second terminal end therein; providing a first motor to the down-hole location such that the first motor is operatively associated with the first terminal end for selectively moving the first terminal end with respect to the first connector housing; coupling the first connector housing to the second connector housing such that relative motion between the first and second connector housings is restricted; and activating the first motor to move the first terminal end in a radial direction with respect to the first connector housing at the down-hole location to position the first and second terminal ends so that signals are transmissible between the first and second cores.
