Do I need to install a junction box?
Hi Guys,
In running my electrical wiring for my kitchen refurb, I'm pretty sure I'll have to use 2 rolls of cable.
Is there any way to join the 2 cable ends other than by way of an accessible junction box?

Nope, that's the only way.

I'm not sure why it should be a concern. Usually a cable is ended in a box for lights or a receptacle and the run is continued using a new roll of cable.
If you're using romex, it's available in 25', 50' 100' and 250' lengths that should cover every situation.

Do the longest runs first. Save the short runs till last. This will minimize the length of left-over on a roll.
