Is "empalme" a "splice" or a "junction" here (referring to joining sections of cable)?

Thanks a lot in advance for your clarification.

"Para unir los diferentes tramos a lo largo del trazado **se practicarán 144 empalmes**, en un proceso laborioso y delicado. Para conectar entre sí dos tramos adyacentes hay que instalar una junta, una especie de manguito prefabricado que debe colocarse en un entorno totalmente controlado y que requiere de una mano de obra altamente especializada."
