Claim:
1. A splice kit for repairing a cable having a central conductor, an insulator surrounding the central conductor, an outer conductive sheath surrounding the insulator, and a jacket surrounding the outer conductive sheath, said splice kit comprising: a central conductor joint that is electrically conductive and is configured to engage the central conductor of the cable such that the central conductor joint defines a portion of an electrical path of the central conductor; a dielectric insert configured to at least partially surround the central conductive joint and the central conductor of the cable; a dielectric heat-shrink sleeve configured to surround the dielectric insert and portions of the insulator of the cable disposed axially outside of the dielectric insert along a length of the cable; an outer sheath joint that is electrically conductive and is configured to surround the dielectric heat-shrink sleeve, the outer sheath joint being configured to be electrically connected to the outer conductive sheath of the cable such that the outer sheath joint defines a portion of an electrical path of the outer conductive sheath; and a jacket joint configured to at least partially surround the outer sheath joint and the jacket of the cable.
