Abstract: Stranded cables are joined utilizing apparatus and method of this invention by coating individual strands of the end portions of the cables to be joined with a suitable cleaning liquid and then ejecting a fluid under pressure against such end portions to remove the liquid and any foreign particles from the end portions including forcing such particles along the length of the cable. The cleaned end portions are then fixed in an associated welding apparatus and welded together with a conventional welding device using an access port provided in the apparatus and the welding action provided assures that each cable strand is fused to the weld material. Any excess weld material is then removed from the welded end portions after removal from the welding apparatus and a tubular sleeve may be fixed in position over the welded junction to reinforce the high-strength weld.
