How to connect these cables?

[takedown8]

This is a shot in the dark, but hopefully some of you with electrical skills will be able to help me.

I have 4 of these cables (small, internal audio/power cables) that I want to connect end to end to make one long cable. What is the easiest way to do that? Are there male-male bare pins that will connect them or a male-male cable or do I have to solder them together? (I'd prefer not since I don't know how to do that).

Thanks in advance!

Jump rope? What will this cable be used for?

I'm trying to retrofit a steering wheel with paddles. So this wire will go from the slip ring in the steering column all the way down to the gear shift area where I will connect it to the steptronic system.

Then just cut the unneeded connectors off, splice the wires together, and electrical tape them together.

I wouldnt use electrical tape for this application..Your better off using heat shrink!!

Electrical tape is the poor man's heat shrink. You can also solder the splices together, if you'd like. I don't see much difference to this application, however.

Solder and heat shrink.
