Claim:
1. A system for extending an electrical cable through a tubular member, wherein the tubular member has a first tubular member end and a second tubular member end, the system comprising: (a) the electrical cable; (b) a first cable hanger component for connecting with the first tubular member end of the tubular member, wherein the first cable hanger component is comprised of a first mechanical connector for mechanically connecting the electrical cable with the first cable hanger component and a first electrical connector for electrically connecting the electrical cable with the first cable hanger component, wherein the first cable hanger component provides either a stationary connection with the electrical cable or a rotary connection with the electrical cable, wherein the first mechanical connector and the first electrical connector do not enable rotation of the electrical cable relative to the first cable hanger component in order to provide the stationary connection, wherein the first mechanical connector and the first electrical connector enable rotation of the electrical cable relative to the first cable hanger component in order to provide the rotary connection, and wherein the rotary connection is provided by a first rotary contact assembly comprising the first mechanical connector and the first electrical connector; and (c) a second cable hanger component for connecting with the second tubular member end of the tubular member, wherein the second cable hanger component is comprised of a second mechanical connector for mechanically connecting the electrical cable with the second cable hanger component and a second electrical connector for electrically connecting the electrical cable with the second cable hanger component, wherein the second cable hanger component provides either a stationary connection with the electrical cable or a rotary connection with the electrical cable, wherein the second mechanical connector and the second electrical connector do not enable rotation of the electrical cable relative to the second cable hanger component in order to provide the stationary connection, wherein the second mechanical connector and the second electrical connector enable rotation of the electrical cable relative to the second cable hanger component in order to provide the rotary connection, and wherein the rotary connection is provided by a second rotary contact assembly comprising the second mechanical connector and the second electrical connector.
