12.5mm Tape - 5 Conductor (200m)

12.5mm Tape - 5 Conductor (200m)

This roll of electric fence tape is 200m long. The electric fence tape is 12.5mm wide. Woven into the tape are 5 conductor strands that carry the electrical current through the tape and around your fencing system. This tape is tear resistant and is highly conductive.
Electric fencing tape is wider than standard electric wire fencing and provides a significantly increased visual deterrent to livestock.

Electric fence tape is very easy and convenient to install, but care must be taken as due to extra width, the tape may sag in very wet or windy weather. This can be easily accommodated by having shorter spans between posts and correct tensioning of the tape.

Resistance figure is 8.4 Ohms per metre

Breaking strength is 95Kgs

Resistance

The key figure to look out for in polywire and polytape is the resistance figure which is described in Ohms per metre. This is the amount of resistance the polywire or tape creates against the elecric current pulsing through the fence line.
The lower the resistance figure the better as this means the current will flow better throughout the length of the fence line.
The resistance is caused by the non-conductive material in the polywire or polytape so the more metal that is contained in the polywire because metal is a conductor, this will reduce the resistance and improve the performance of your fence system
