A device for splicing together two lengths of fluid-cooled, electric cable of the type comprising an electrical conductor surrounding by a flexible conduit through which a cooling fluid, e.g., water, can flow for the purpose of conducting thermal energy away from the cable while the cable conducts high current. The splicing device comprises an electrically-conductive tubular member having a pair of spaced holes in the tube wall. The tubular member is adapted to be crimped at both ends upon the respective ends of the conductor portion of two lengths of such cable, and the outside diameter of such member is substantially equal to the inside diameter of the flexible conduit portion of the cable so that the respective ends of the conduit portion of such two lengths of cable can snugly slide over the tubular member from opposite ends. The holes are located in the tubular member to allow fluid to flow substantially uninterrupted from one cable length, through the tubular member, to the other cable length.
