Cable assembly with splice connector

A cable assembly comprising:

• a primary twinaxial cable including a first conductor and a second conductor, the primary twinaxial cable including a primary insulator holding the first and second conductors of the primary twinaxial cable, exposed portions of the first and second conductors of the primary twinaxial cable protruding from the primary insulator, the primary twinaxial cable including a primary cable shield surrounding the primary insulator to provide shielding for the first and second conductors of the primary twinaxial cable;
• a secondary twinaxial cable including a first conductor and a second conductor, the secondary twinaxial cable including a secondary insulator holding the first and second conductors of the secondary twinaxial cable, exposed portions of the first and second conductors of the secondary twinaxial cable protruding from the secondary insulator, the secondary twinaxial cable including a secondary cable shield surrounding the secondary insulator to provide shielding for the first and second conductors of the secondary twinaxial cable;
• a splice connector between the primary twinaxial cable and the secondary twinaxial cable to electrically connect the first and second conductors of the primary twinaxial cable with the first and second conductors of the secondary twinaxial cable, the splice connector including a splice holder receiving and holding the exposed portions of the first and second conductors of the primary and secondary twinaxial cables, the first and second conductors of the primary twinaxial cable are electrically connected with the first and second conductors of the secondary twinaxial cable in the splice holder, the splice holder being dielectric to electrically isolate the first conductors of the primary and secondary twinaxial cables from the second conductors of the primary and secondary twinaxial cables, the splice connector including an outer shell having a primary shroud forming a primary cavity receiving an end of the primary twinaxial cable, a secondary shroud forming a secondary cavity receiving an end of the secondary twinaxial cable, and a splice shroud forming a splice cavity receiving the splice holder, the outer shell being electrically conductive, the primary shroud being electrically connected to the primary cable shield, the secondary shroud being electrically connected to the secondary cable shield.
