Review on πŸ”Œ Field Guardian 12.5-Guage Undergate Aluminum Cable: 150-Feet Spool for Efficient Fencing Solutions by Warren Hess

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Ideal for electric fences or other wet/underground applications. Made for nothing else.

As others have pointed out, the core of this cable is soft and brittle. It is ideally suited for what it was designed for, which is to carry a high voltage, low current circuit underground. To be more precise, under the gate in the electric fence. It has a very thick shell that protects the shorts from high voltage. This cable has made my fence gate a lot easier. Instead of trying to find a way to connect and disconnect the fence at the gate, I just lengthen the wire, run it underground through the gate, and tuck it back into the middle of the strand on the other side. I can take some of the wire back and properly electrify the gate and run the rest along the fence. Much easier than worrying about handling connections in a hot gate. Just remember that they are not designed to flex a lot. Treat it, set it in place with some extra trimming and wrap it up well. Then leave it alone. Good product!

Pros
  • It has a robust casing and is rated for high voltage (40,000 volts) without loss of performance.
Cons
  • Quick Start Guide
