Splicing wires[edit]

The instructions (which really don't belong in a Wikipedia article – WP:HOWTO) tell me I am going to twist the wires together before removing the insulation. Really?. Then, after twisting together, and possibly soldering, I am going to place a sleeve over the joint. How exactly do I do that? Do I go half a mile up to the next junction box and then push the sleeve all the way down the cable? SpinningSpark 16:10, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Armoured cable[edit]

I came to this article because there is a link to Wiktionary in transatlantic telegraph cable. There was a famous cockup with splicing this cable mid-Atalantic. The link to "splice" goes to Wiktionary and I thought there should be something better on Wikipedia so I didn't have to explain the details of the problem in-article. Armoured cable splicing should be here but isn't, and if it is on Wikipedia, it's somewhere very obscure. SpinningSpark 16:57, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A splice or splicing?[edit]

I think that a line splice is a connection, not a method, which is called "splicing". By the way, is splicing a special method that makes a splice? Can two lines be correctly connected without splicing? If so, then what would be the name of such a connection - just "connection", not a "splice"? 85.193.228.103 (talk) 00:02, 29 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
