A method for the electrically conductive connection of two superconductive cables (1, 2), which in each case have at least one superconductive conductor surrounded by a dielectric and an electrically effective shield arranged above the dielectric, with which the conductor to be connected and shields on the ends of the two cables (1, 2) are initially freed from surrounding layers and then are connected with each other electrically conductively, - in which the ends of the two cables (1, 2) are arranged side by side and parallel to one another in such a manner that their free ends point in the same direction, - in which the ends of the two cables (1, 2) are firmly connected with one another, - in which the conductors of the two cables (1, 2) are connected electrically conductively with one another by an electrical contact element extending transversely to their axial direction, wherein no insulating layers are applied to the connection points of the respective conductors, - in which the two thus treated cable ends are arranged when establishing a transmission line for electrical energy jointly in a housing of a cryostat, which during operation of the transmission line is flowed through by a flowable coolant with insulating properties, characterized in - that the shields of the two cables (1, 2) are also electrically conductively connected with each other by an electrical contact element extending transversely to their axial direction, - that each of the two cables (1, 2) is initially mounted in a cryostat (11, 12) connected with the housing, such that the respective cable end protrudes out of the associated cryostat and protrudes into the housing, - that the two cable ends are mechanically connected with each other in the still open housing, - that the contact elements (8, 9) are mounted within the housing on the exposed conductors and shields of the two cables (1, 2) and - that the housing is finally closed. - in which the ends of the two cables (1, 2) are arranged side by side and parallel to one another in such a manner that their free ends point in the same direction, - in which the ends of the two cables (1, 2) are firmly connected with one another, - in which the conductors of the two cables (1, 2) are connected electrically conductively with one another by an electrical contact element extending transversely to their axial direction, wherein no insulating layers are applied to the connection points of the respective conductors, - in which the two thus treated cable ends are arranged when establishing a transmission line for electrical energy jointly in a housing of a cryostat, which during operation of the transmission line is flowed through by a flowable coolant with insulating properties, characterized in - that the shields of the two cables (1, 2) are also electrically conductively connected with each other by an electrical contact element extending transversely to their axial direction, - that each of the two cables (1, 2) is initially mounted in a cryostat (11, 12) connected with the housing, such that the respective cable end protrudes out of the associated cryostat and protrudes into the housing, - that the two cable ends are mechanically connected with each other in the still open housing, - that the contact elements (8, 9) are mounted within the housing on the exposed conductors and shields of the two cables (1, 2) and - that the housing is finally closed.
