A cable connector system includes an electrical cable (having a primary conductor and an insulation layer), a connector, a flow block member and a flowable sealant. The primary conductor of the cable extends into a conductor bore of the connector through a passage in the flow block member and is mechanically and electrically coupled to the connector. The flow block member is thereby mounted on the primary conductor and interposed between a terminal end of the insulation layer and an end face of the connector. The sealant surrounds the flow block member and adjacent portions of the insulation layer and the connector. The flow block member inhibits flow of the sealant into the conductor bore through the entry opening.
