Patent ID: 8550842

Claim:
A cable connector system comprising: an electrical cable including a primary conductor and an insulation layer surrounding the primary conductor, wherein the insulation layer has an insulation terminal end and the primary conductor extends beyond the insulation terminal end; a connector defining a conductor bore, an entry opening communicating with the conductor bore, and a connector end face surrounding the entry opening; a flow block member defining a passage extending therethrough; and a flowable sealant; wherein: the primary conductor extends through the passage and the entry opening and into the conductor bore, the primary conductor being mechanically and electrically coupled to the connector; the flow block member is thereby mounted on the primary conductor and interposed between the insulation terminal end and the connector end face; the sealant surrounds the flow block member and adjacent portions of the insulation layer and the connector; and the flow block member inhibits flow of the sealant into the conductor bore through the entry opening.
