Abstract
A splice kit is provided for repairing a cable having a central conductor, an insulator surrounding the central conductor, an outer conductive sheath surrounding the insulator, and a jacket surrounding the outer conductive sheath. The splice kit includes a central conductor joint that is electrically conductive and is configured to engage the central conductor of the cable such that the central conductor joint defines a portion of an electrical path of the central conductor. The splice kit also includes a dielectric insert configured to at least partially surround the central conductive joint and the central conductor of the cable, and an outer sheath joint that is electrically conductive and is configured to at least partially surround the dielectric insert. The outer sheath joint is configured to be electrically connected to the outer conductive sheath of the cable such that the outer sheath joint defines a portion of an electrical path of the outer conductive sheath. The splice kit further includes a jacket joint configured to at least partially surround the outer sheath joint and the jacket of the cable.
