<<So here's the real issue, I want to break these two cables(2 conductor 22ga twisted pair with braided shield) with inline connectors for ease of installation. I haven't been able to locate suitable connectors which will do the job and maintain the integrity of the shield. Any suggestions for a connector part #/manufacturer? >>

Yes, use solder, heatshrink and a little copper foil tape.
