Abstract
The present invention relates to a device for splicing two insulated electrical wires or cables. More particularly, the device includes two or more elongated members cooperating to form a cylindrical, cable receiving body with tapered outer surfaces adapted to slidingly receive collars which compress the elongated members against the cables. Insulation piercing prongs are driven into the cable to contact the underlying conductors to establish electrical continuity between the two cables.
