Double Splice Extension Repair 

If the wire(s) being repaired are too short when the damage area of wire has been removed the following is recommended. Use 2 splice connectors and an appropriate length of wire with colored cable identification sleeves to return the wire its original length.

The extension wire must have the same or greater cross sectional area as the wire(s) combinations entering the splice connectors. Example: 2 wires x 0.5 mm² (0.00077 inch² ) cross sectional area + 2 wires x 0.75 mm² (0.0012 inch² ) cross sectional area would require a wire of 2.5 mm² (0.0039 inch² ) cross sectional area or greater.
