If it is the cabling within your system tower (or more commonly CPU), then I would suggest using sleeves since internal computer cabling usually needs rewiring with almost every change in the hardware or fault conditions. A heat shrink would severely limit this. At the same time, the air gun you would use to shrink could even damage the components near the cables if done improperly.

Solder the wires together and use heat shrink to insulate the soldered connection. You can buy heat shrink at any auto parts store or hobby store.

What is an ordinary wrapped cable splice?

It sounds like it is simply two cable wires twisted together and insulated by wrapping the joint with insulating tape. If so, it is better to soldering the twisted bare wires and insulating the joint with a length of heat-shrink tubing.

How do you connect wires using a heat shrink connector?

A heat shrink connector is a small tube of translucent plastic shrink wrap with a small collar of solder in the middle. That's what I think the question is about. What you do is butt joint the wires together then use a soldering iron to melt the small collar of solder,this is what attatches the wires together in a more permenant bond than shrinkwrap alone. Then use a heat gun or other flame (carefully) to shrink the wrap around the wires and insulation. A proper heat shrink gun can melt solder inside the shrink without damaging it. 3M makes one. Tyco Electronics also makes one. Check out DigiKey and enter part # CWT9001-ND They are used in aircraft regularly. For the record, heat shrink is not plastic (I suppose it could be, but I've never seen it in 'plastic') for the most part it is polyolefin and comes in several types, shrink ratio of 2:1, 3:1, 4:1, 6:1.

Can you connect speaker wires to other speaker wires?

Yes with the proper tools you can splice two speaker wires together to extend the length of the wire. Be sure to use similar composition cable (copper to copper, silver to silver, etc) Wearing latex gloves to prevent corrosion form the oil on your skin strip 1/2in of the speaker cable sleeve on both cables. Twist the cables together and use silver solder to complete the bond. Apply heat-shrink of electrical tape to prevent the cable from shorting. Enjoy your new, longer cable.
