Depending on the sensitivity of the device it connects, you could just
splice the core and the shield(pull all the shield to one side of the wire)
separately, and wrap w/ heat shrink or electrical tape. However, if the
device is very sensitive, you could try using a BNC or cable TV shielded
connector to terminate each wire and then connect them. you will maintain
your EMI protection. Whatever you choose, definitely solder your
connections. Good luck!
