*Important:
“Probable Life” is not a warranty by Premier. Why not? Because we know that longevity is highly dependent upon, but not limited to, quality of installation,
insulator(s) used, rope tension, animal/wind/snow/ice/vegetation pressure and UV exposure (altitude and climate).
Comparing ohms (
Ω
), for most people, is counter intuitive because higher ohm numbers equal lower conductivity.
This pictograph shows the relative conductivity of
conductors. A smaller number of
Ω
= a bigger “pipe” for each pulse.
Higher ohm number is more constrictive to flow while lower ohm number is more open to flow.
The differences actually are as large as they appear in the diagrams.
Electrifiable Rope & Twine
What to look for when purchasing electrifiable rope
• Visibility against all backgrounds.
Animals see colors poorly, so maximum
contrast is important.
• Conductivity.
Important if the fence is more than 1000 ft or in contact with
heavy weeds. If not, it’s a minimal factor.
• Durability.
Should match intended use. No need to buy a “20-year” rope for a
“2-year” situation.
• Exposure of metal filaments.
The better rope and twine have these spread
evenly and frequently around the exterior.
• Support.
Extreme warranties (with much fine print to protect the seller) play
upon fears to drive up sales. We take a more simple approach. We support
that which we sell—and have confidence in our products.
Pre-wind option
We will pre-wind conductors onto
our EzeReels or SupaReels (if you
purchase the reel).
