Abstract
A splicing device for connecting two electrical cables by forming a splice, each electrical cable including a sheath, a cladding and at least a first primary wire and a second primary wire. The cladding is surrounded by the sheath and surrounds the at least two primary wires. The splicing device includes a first electrical connector for connecting together the first primary wires of the two electric cables, and a second electrical connector for connecting together the second primary wires of the two electric cables. The splicing device further includes a first insulating sheath for covering the first electrical connector of the first primary wires, the first insulating sheath being made of a first material, and a second insulating sheath separated from the first insulating sheath for covering the second electrical connector of the second primary wires, the second insulating sheath being made of the first material. A holder is provided to maintain the first and second insulating sheaths in a constant relative position. The holder is made of a second material. The first and second materials and the thickness of the first and second sheaths and of the holder are chosen so that the cha…
