Is the cable on show? If so, soldering and sleeving carefully using
heat shrink sleeving may look best. If concealed, simply twist and use

A choc strip isn't tamper proof. Solder and sleeving is as tamper
proof as the cable.


If someone can take up the floorboards etc to get at an alarm cable, just
how it may or not be jointed is likely to be the least of your problems...

Use a proper alarm cable jointing box. Terminal for each wire and a
tamper switch that operates when you take the cover off.
