To join the cables, typically you would use a 30 or 32 amp junction box.
You can use one with screw down connections, or if it is considered that the joint would be 'inaccessible', you would use a maintenance free type junction box.

I bought one of the junction box, unfortunately it doesn't fit the cable.
So, I modified and done this- image below. Is it ok?
