Splice kits are used to establish a connection between two cables. Splice kits can include tubing, sealant, and connectors to ensure a safe joint between the two cables. Splice kits come in many configurations, depending on the type of wire or cable being joined, and include heat or cold shrink splices; tape, wye, inline gel, and resin splices; and wraparound sleeves.

Splice kits are used on many kinds of wire and cable for telecommunications and media applications, including TV cable or coaxial cable for connecting audio and video equipment and Ethernet cable or category 5 cable (Cat5 cable) cable for Internet, computer, and networking applications. The key to effectively splicing cables together is ensuring that the connection is sealed against moisture and dirt, since some cables may be buried, and that there is no signal loss across the splice.

Splice kits used to repair cables include heat shrink kits which contain wraparound sleeves and adhesives that are secured around the splice. Heating the wraparound sleeve melts the adhesive to the cable, sealing the splice from moisture and providing insulation and protection. Cold shrink splice kits use a similar wraparound sleeve that has been pre-stretched and will retract around the cable to form a tight seal without the application of heat. A wire and cable splice kit for underground applications must ensure that the splices are protected and well-insulated. These splice kits include wire connectors for copper or aluminum conductors and insulation products such as caps, covers, resins, tubing, and tape that is specific to the type of connector used.

Splice kits for connecting wire include plastic ribbed color-coded caps in different sizes to accommodate splices between wires of various thicknesses. Wire connector kits are commonly used to shield copper wire splices and may contain connectors, splices and terminals, leaders, and disconnects. A wire connector kit can also be used to splice, connect, and terminate speaker wire for stereo systems.
