    This is called a cable joint.
    There are various solutions, starting from crimping the connector on the conductor and securing it with special heat-shrinkable sleeves, these are whole sets, or there are clamps with screws, and after twisting the cables, the whole thing is closed in the housing and poured with a special resin.

    Here are videos of how it is done but in the technique of pouring resins

    There is no need to play with muffs. A cable repair kit (the first one, i.e. jackets) does the trick.

    What is the difference between a "repair kit" and a "muff"? In addition to naming!

    I misunderstood something a bit and the text went to the trash can, maybe now it will be fine :D
    There is also a self-vulcanizing tape, but since it is 16mm2, it would be difficult to twist the cores together.
    It is best to go to a good store or electrical wholesaler and tell about your problem, they will definitely do something about it, but you need to have something to do it because if you want to use crimp connectors, you must have a press to tighten when it comes to heat-shrinkable sleeves with glue, you need a good heat gun or gas burner.
    In addition, you need to make a bit of spare cable at the muff, just in case there is no surprise and no fish face in the future. :D and remember where it was made.

    A repair kit with heat shrink tubes is OK, but sometimes a heat gun is not enough and you have to have a gas burner, and this is a bit higher driving school, not to burn ... Besides, you need a good crimping tool for ferrules, unless you get twisted fittings .. .

    A set for 4x1.5mm2 cost about PLN 15 recently :) The kit includes everything you need for assembly, except a heat gun and a press tool

    Vulcanizing tape was good 30 years ago, now I won't say what you can wrap it with, it will go away with time anyway. And the spare is not needed if the connector is properly made, nothing can happen there. The heat gun is sufficient to heat shrink tubes, even much thicker than 16.

    I would advise you to think first before you write something because you have no idea what you are writing about, such tapes are used and will be used for a long time, but you can see that you have never seen a repair kit for a medium voltage cable
