An optical cable termination includes a termination body and a pressure test section. The pressure test section includes a body configured to be press fit, screwed or otherwise attached to an end of the termination body and at least one test port. The pressure test section allows for testing of the seal integrity of the termination at pressure prior to deployment. Optionally included with the termination is a boot seal having at least one tubular protrusion extending from a boot seal body, wherein the boot seal body is configured to receive an end of the fiber optic cable and then at least one tubular protrusion is configured to allow at least one optical fiber to extend therethrough. When using the boot seal, the termination also optionally includes an anti-extrusion plate disposed within the boot seal body, wherein the anti-extrusion plate is configured to allow at least one optical fiber to extend therethrough. A compression seal is also included between the termination body and pressure test section to seal directly onto the hermetic cable. The compression seal and pressure test section are also adapted to a Y-splice and a wellhead termination.
