Abstract
A method and apparatus for splicing and welding the ends of stranded electrical cables wherein a compression connector receives and is deformed about portions of the cable ends while a welding fixture is positioned thereabout. The welding fixture effects a reduced pressure along the cable periphery so that as molten material is deposited in the connector to join the cable ends, a portion of the molten material is caused to migrate inward along the cable interstices.
