Electrical splice connector for connecting electrical cables with conductor pairs

A method of splicing a first wire cable to a second wire cable, comprising:

• joining a first wire conductor of a first wire cable to a first wire conductor of a second wire cable by crimping a first splice terminal to the first wire conductors;
• joining a second wire conductor of the first wire cable to a second wire conductor of the second wire cable by crimping a second splice terminal to the second wire conductors;
• forming a dividing insulator having a first cavity and a second cavity divided by a wall formed of a dielectric material, the wall having a reduced thickness between the first splice terminal and the second splice terminal;
• placing the first splice terminal within a first cavity of the dividing insulator;
• and
• placing the second splice terminal within a second cavity of the dividing insulator such that the at least one section is between the first splice terminal and the second splice terminal.

An electrical splice connector for connecting a first wire cable having first and second wire conductors and a second wire cable having first and second wire conductors, the electrical splice connector comprising:

• a first splice terminal configured for being crimped to the first wire conductor of the first wire cable and for being crimped to the first wire conductor of the second wire cable;
• a second splice terminal configured for being crimped to the second wire conductor of the first wire cable and for being crimped to the second wire conductor of the second wire cable;
• and
• a dividing insulator formed of a dielectric material having a first cavity in which the first splice terminal is disposed and having a second cavity in which the second splice terminal is disposed, wherein the second cavity is separated from the first cavity by a wall formed of the dielectric material, the wall defining an opening through the wall between the first splice terminal in the first cavity and the second splice terminal in the second cavity, the opening configured to control capacitive coupling between the first and second splice terminals and thereby control an electrical impedance of the electrical splice connector.
