Product Information

Full details

The Fenceman Undergate Cable is designed for agricultural professionals and fencing installers who require a robust, reliable solution for carrying high-voltage current beneath gates and pathways. It delivers a consistent 12,000 volts without power loss, ensuring the security of your livestock boundaries. The main caveat for users is that, due to its specialized construction for underground use, it is less flexible and heavier than standard fence wire, requiring careful handling during installation.

FAQs

Can I use this cable above ground?

While the cable is robust, it is specifically designed and insulated for underground or under-gate use. It can be used above ground, but standard electric fence wire is usually more flexible and easier to install for overhead applications.

Is this cable compatible with all electric fence energizers?

Yes, as long as your energizer does not exceed 12,000 volts, this cable will handle the output effectively.

Does the cable need to be inside a pipe?

While not strictly required by the cable's construction, placing it inside a plastic conduit when running it under high-traffic driveways or deep underground is recommended to protect against physical crushing.

How deep should I bury the cable?

A depth of at least 15 to 30 centimeters (6-12 inches) is recommended to protect the cable from farm vehicles, animals, and soil movement.

Can I splice two pieces together?

It is highly recommended to use the cable as a continuous length to avoid potential failure points. If splicing is necessary, use high-quality, weather-rated jointing kits.

Troubleshooting

Voltage drop at the end of the line

Check the connections at both ends of the cable for corrosion or loose joints and ensure the wire is not touching metal fence posts.

Sparking at the gate area

Ensure the wire insulation is intact; if damaged, replace the section or use high-voltage electrical tape to seal the breach.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent power retention with zero loss
  • Highly durable against environmental factors
  • Suitable for heavy-duty 12,000V applications
  • Resistant to soil-based corrosion and abrasion

Cons

  • Less flexible than standard fencing wire
  • Requires professional installation tools to maintain insulation integrity
  • Heavier gauge makes it more challenging to route through tight corners

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure the cable is buried deep enough to avoid being crushed by farm machinery or hooves. When connecting, strip only as much insulation as required to make a firm contact, ensuring that no bare wire is exposed to the soil to prevent leakage.

  • Compatibility: Compatible with all standard electric fence energizers that output up to 12,000 volts.
  • Care: Periodically check the fence energizer reading at the point of connection to ensure there is no drop in voltage, which would indicate a potential breach in the cable insulation.
