Is there any way to splice bike shifter cable?

I built a recumbent bike. I need a 12ft shift cable for my rear derailer. I have shopped online and can only find cables up to 8 feet in length. There are front and rear cable stops where the cable comes out of its sheath along the frame. At this point I can do some sort of splice but nothing I have tried so far worked. I have tried brazing, tying it in a square knot, and there is not enough clearance for a nut and bolt to clamp them together.

If you know any way to splice bike cable or some place that sells really long cables that would be GREAT!

Thanks for any help or ideas.
Mike.
