Abstract
A submersible device sealing system includes a submersible device, a cable having wires connected to the submersible device, and a sheath about the wires. There is a sleeve about the cable sheath, and a crimp about the sleeve. An encapsulant is disposed about the crimp, the wires, and the submersible device to prevent fluid ingress to the wires connected to the submersible device. The encapsulant is made of material separable from the cable sheath but the crimp is made of a material bondable to the encapsulant to seal the submersible device with respect to the fluid.
