When you're using a twist-on connector to splice a stranded wire with a solid wire, it's a good idea to strip an extra 1/8 inch of insulation from the stranded wire, and to hold the wires together so the stranded wire extends 1/8 inch past the solid. This helps the wire connector...
Take one set of wires that you intend to splice and place the ends/terminals next to each other—negative to negative (-), positive to positive (+). You want the wires to be in-phase. If you're unsure,test the speaker wires with a battery. Using the wire cutters, strip off the ex...
Splicing the Wires Together by Color When you're ready to splice the wires, strip about five inches of casing off the ends. Then take off about half an inch of plastic coating, leaving the ends of the wires exposed. If your junction box isn't already set up with clamps, you may have...
Ok, when I did my Transom I cut both the fish hawk and FF transducer cables. YES you can splice them. In the following pictures you will see how.1. cut the Cable. 2. Split and remove the outercase insulation. 3. On each end, cut the wires so your solder
Strip about 1/2 inch of the wire insulation off the wires you plan to splice together using your wire stripping tool. Video of the Day Step 2 Insert the copper and aluminum wires into the splice-bolt connector opening. Check the placement of the wires to ensure that the alloy spacer separ...
The steps are essentially the same as basic splicing, but things are different after you’ve stripped and unwound all eight of the wires on both ends you want to splice together. Once the wires are unwound and aligned, twist the corresponding color-coded wires from each cable. Be sure that...
The connector is slipped over one of the wires to be spliced together and then the stripped ends of each wire are pushed into each other. The connector is slid over the splice, with the bare wires both inside the solder ring. Heat is then applied to the tube via a heat gun, which fi...

Never splice a CAT-5 cable as a permanent solution to a cut or damaged cable. That being said, when a cable is damaged and needs to be repaired quickly, it can be spliced as a temporary measure that will perform well enough to carry network traffic relia
