™
Insulated Cable (PIW2510)
Premier’s popular and proven MaxiShock
cable covered with plastic insulation.
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. For manual joint
clamps onto HT wire it works best to bend the
bare cable end back and forth to provide 2-3
thickness within the joint clamp.

A. Double-InsulatedWire (DCPIW34) Specifically designed to carry high voltage (up to 10,000v) electric fence pulses: Steel wire is 12.5 gauge galvanized high-tensile. The 2 insulation layers are polyethylene. Outer diameter is 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 easily replaced if desired. Note: Some users have experienced cracks in the insulation developing over time when this wire is bent—particularly as it enters the soil. We think this is due to the differing expansion and contraction rates of the wire and the plastic. The solution? Use MaxiShock Insulated Cable (at left) . It’s insulation has never failed. 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 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. 141)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. 141) 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. 143)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
insulated wire and squeeze it
against the stake with a stainless steel clamp (see inset at right) .
