Each subassembly is connectable with other of the subassen blies into a conductor string while being fed into an opening in a hole or pipe, thereby enabling an electrical connection along the conductor string that is electric ally substantially isolated frm external fluids in the - hole or pipe. Each conductor subassembly comprises: a conductor segment with a conductor core surrounded by an insulating layer; two connectors attached to op - posite ends of the conductor segment, having two re spective conductor engagement elements attached to corresponding ends ofthe conductor core. The connect or of adjacent conductor subassemblies are connect able securely against forces in the hole or pipe and so as to electricallyjoin their corresponding conductor en gagement elements and seal them front contact with the external fluids.
