Hotline C46-2 Paddock Essentials Electric Tape White 40mm x 200m

Paddock essentials electro tape with 4 stainless steel conductors. Ideally suited for small to medium distance fence systems. White with Green trace lines for a good level of visibility at dawn or dusk.

A primary concern when choosing your conductive material is visibility. For many animals an electric fence acts as a psychological barrier and they have to be able to see it to avoid it. This is also a consideration when choosing colour - a product with a low visual impact from a human point is also much harder for an animal to see. Tape is more common in equine applications, tape offers the greatest range of visibility and as such is often used as an alternative to traditional fencing. Many Hotline tapes have thick polyurethane webbing with extra-thick edging to extend the life of the fence. Poly tapes conduct power through thin metal conductors running through it's length. The more metal in a fence line the more efficient it will be. Steel conductors have a good balance of conductivity and tensile strength and copper (usually nickel plated) conducts extremely well but has a lower tensile strength. Tape with a combination of the two aim to take advantage of the strength of steel while using the copper to reduce the overall resistance of the product. Resistance is measured in Ohms. A lower Ohm value indicates the product offers less resistance to the energy flowing through it and thus will take the power further.
