    Extending 6mm cable

    Client wants cooker moving and therefore a longer cable run is required, the existing cable tests out fine with >299M ohms and good continuity. The cable has been run behind old oak panel which client does not want touching, so whats my best option for joining 6mm cable that meets regs? Thank you
