Abstract: Cable splices and methods for splicing cables wherein two segments of cable, each of which includes a central conduit, a plurality of electrical wires and a plurality of supporting wires are joined together. In one embodiment, the cable segments are coupled by cleanly cutting the ends of the two cable segments to prepare them to be spliced, folding back the wires and joining the conduits of the two cables, then connecting each of the electrical wires of one segment to a corresponding wire of the other segment, then connecting each of the support wires of the two cable segments to a support structure which surrounds the conduit and electrical wires, and finally placing a mold over the spliced area and filling the mold with a protective material which will harden and thereby strengthen the splice and protect the embedded conduit and wires.
