*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).
Pictographs (at right) depict the relative conductivity of conductors. A smaller number of Ω means a bigger “opening” for each pulse.
The differences actually are as
large as they appear at right! Higher ohm numbers result in lower conductivity because higher ohms impede the flow of electrons.
Comparison Chart
Conductivity compared
IntelliTape ™ The most visible narrow tape available due to its contrasting colors. Has 3 stainless steel and 3 tinned copper filaments. How does tape compare to IntelliTwine and IntelliRope for cattle fences? • Tape is definitely more visible to animals. • Tape costs more per ft than twine and 6.0 ropes; requires more posts to support it. • IntelliRope lasts much longer and is more elastic (which means it’s less likely to sag). IntelliTape, 330', 2 lb.......................................................................#257010 $16.00 IntelliTape, 660', 3 lb.......................................................................#257020 $32.00 IntelliTape, 1320', 6 lb.................................................................... #257040 $64.00 MaxiShock For most cattle one strand of tape (or rope) is enough for a subdivision fence. Set conductor height at or below nose level. Electrifiable Tape MaxiShock ™ Famous for 4 qualities: 1. Very thick zinc coating (Class IV) of each of the 7 strands in this cable. It should last 10 years without rusting in humid climates. 2. Low-tensile strength. Therefore it’s easy to wind, unwind, cut, tie and join. Enables simple, conductive, durable “no-tool” connections. 3. Excellent conductivity.

Twine and MaxiShock combined on a temporary fence. Twine provides visibility and MaxiShock offers low resistance for a consistent pulse. www.premier1supplies.com • 1-800-282-6631CONDUCTORS 123
