™
Insulated Cable (PIW2510)
Premier’s popular MaxiShock cable covered
with plastic insulation (rated for more than
10,000 volts).
Use for connecting:
• Hot wires to each other.
• Energizers to fences or ground rods.
• Gate activators to fences.
• Flood gaps to fences.
Can be removed and reinstalled many times.
The thick zinc layer on MaxiShock cable will
protect the connection from rusting for years.
To connect for a short period,
just wrap
MaxiShock tightly around the conductor 5 or
more times. It’s simple and quick.
For permanent wire fences
connect it the
same as double-insulated wire—with manual
joint clamps or RopeLinks.

A. Double-InsulatedWire (DCPIW34) Specifically designed to carry high voltage (up to 10,000v) electric fence pulses: • Between gate posts through the soil under gateways. • Between buildings and fences. • Between energizer and fence. • Between energizer and ground stake. • Between charged and earthed wires. Double-insulated wire has proven to be a reliable design for these situations. Wire is 12.5 gauge galvanized steel high-tensile. The 2 insulation layers are polyethylene. Outer diameter—0.37". For underground burial we advise that it be enclosed in 3/4" (or larger) black plastic water pipe. Why? To provide extra protection from rocks and traffic and to enable it to be replaced if desired. Why not use household insulated wire? Because fence voltages may exceed 10,000 volts, all household insulated wire (rated at 600v) will fail in a few weeks. Double-Ins.

Where and when?
1. Energizer to switch—
Use
double insulated wire from
the energizer, then buried
underground and finally up the
post to the switch. Strip 2" at end
and wrap bare wire around the
stainless steel bolt of the switch.
2. Cut-out switch
(p. 137)
to fence—
Use insulated
MaxiShock
™
. Strip 2" from
cable/wire and secure bare
wire to the bolt on the switch.
Strip 5" from the other end,
place it alongside the rope—and
squeeze it tight with a RopeLink
(p. 137)
as shown in inset. (We
used to just wrap it around the
rope or spring—but that tended
to fail over time.)
If connecting to HT wire, use
a manual joint clamp
(p. 139)
to
squeeze the conductors together.
3. Connecting multiple
wires—
Shown at right. We
use RopeLinks to squeeze
MaxiShock’s wires securely
against the IntelliRope.
4. Connecting the energizer
to the ground rod—
Use
double-coated insulated wire
and squeeze it against the stake
with a stainless steel clamp
(see
inset at right)
