Description
Electric fencing has many components. To function effectively an electric fencing set up sometimes needs a Leadout Cable. A leadout cable is used to join the energiser to an electric fence and earth stake. If the energiser is some distance from the fence, for safety reasons, it can be run underground. The leadout cable is also useful to run under a gateway, so that the electric current is carried from the tape/rope on one side of the gate to the other side, safely underground.
This Easy Leadout/Undergate Cable has a 1.6mm core and is a double insulated cable with a galvanised steel conductor. It is ideal for normal fence installations.
Please note, that it is not advisable to use electrician’s cable for two reasons:
- An electric fencing system will have up to 10,000 volts; an electrician’s cable is only designed to deal with 240 volts.
- An electrician’s cable probably has copper as part of its make-up, and when this is connected to galvanised wire, it is likely to corrode at the joint.
Size: 1.6mm x core x 25m
