TAPE ROPE TWINE/WIRE
TAPE ROPE TWINE/WIRE
Relative visibility for animals and humans differs. And it’s critical. Why?
1. If it’s easy to see night and day, it’s more likely to stop livestock and wildlife.
2. Visibility = avoidance = safety for both animals and humans.
Photos (above) simulate direct sunlight and “nightlight”. To achieve this we
eliminated the color from the photo and enhanced the amount of night light.
Key conclusions:
•
•
Size in diameter or width matters—larger is always better for visibility.
Contrast matters—black/white is more visible than solid colors.
Conductivity Compared
A smaller Ω = a bigger “pipe” for each pulse
Higher ohm number is more constrictive to flow while
lower ohm number is more open to flow.

MaxiShock™
MaxiShock is ideal for semi-permanent
fences when visibility is not a factor.
Highly regarded for 3 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. 19 ohms/1000 ft.

IntelliTape™
The most visible, narrow tape on the
market. That’s why it is so effective at
stopping deer, horses and “spooked”
cattle—and why many prefer it for
temporary cattle fences.
Narrow tapes resist wind better than
wider tapes, but even so, tape fences
generally require more maintenance.
3 stainless steel and 3 tinned copper
filaments. Made of virgin polyethylene
monofilaments. 50 ohms/1000 ft.
