SPLICE
Wire splice
A wire splice intentionally joins documented conductors without a detachable connector interface.

Power cable joint
An assembly joining power-cable sections while maintaining the required conductor, insulation, screen and environmental interfaces.
GA / SLD · CABLE JOINT
What it represents
A power cable joint connects cable sections as an installed assembly. The selected joint must be compatible with the cable construction and its conductor, insulation, screen and environmental interfaces.
In a GA or cable-routing drawing, locate the joint bay or connection position and coordinate space for jointing work, cable approach and the completed assembly. Reference the cable schedule and selected manufacturer instructions rather than inferring a kit from a generic outline.
How to read it
- Identify the circuits and cable sections joined at the marked location, including screen or neutral continuity.
- A joint extends a cable route; a termination connects a cable to equipment or another defined interface.
Information to show or reference
- Cross-reference the circuit identifier and both cable section specifications.
- Identify the selected joint kit and installation instructions for the actual cable construction.
- Coordinate joint location, cable approach, accessibility and space for the installed assembly.
A distinction that matters
A control-wire splice is a connection concept. A power-cable joint is an installed assembly that must also address insulation, shielding and environmental interfaces for the selected cable.
