The total length will be maybe 25 feet.

A previous owner simply cut the cable about the 15 foot mark, for reasons unknown. I would like to cut it back another 5 feet, to put the splice in a suitable location without leaving too much needless cable hanging around.

That would leave about 10 feet of original cable.

I would then add my own cabling to the tune of roughly 15 feet.

BTW, my preference for a "splice" would be AMP CPC "Mil-style" connectors at either end, as they can be had with gold plated contacts and I already own the stunningly expensive crimping tool.
