Equirope, white, 500M x 6mm

EQUIROPE  your premium, reliable electric fencing option, designed for safety.

Please read the note at the bottom of this page prior to installing Equirope, cutting corners during installation can vastly reduce the lifetime of the install. Installing correctly takes no longer, but will give you a trouble free electric fence line.

 

 

The EQUIROPE is a 6mm premium electric rope, which is highly UV stable. It has 8 pure coated copper conductors threaded through it, these 8 copper conductors ensure good conductivity at all times with extremely low resistance for long distances.

The coated conductors are designed to eliminate any bi-metalic reaction when recommended "gold series" connectors and joiners are used. EQUIROPE is lightweight and easy to install, making it the perfect - permanent, tensionable and reliable electric equine fencing option.

EQUIROPE can be tensioned without damaging the copper conductors, it is soft and flexible. EQUIROPE can be used as a stand alone fence or in conjunction with our Border Line or Plaswire. Available in White or Black.

Tensioning EQUIROPE is highly important for your animals safety, to prevent them getting tangled or tourniquet in the rope. We recommend 2% Tension.

To correctly work out this tension, take the distance you are fitting with equirope eg. 210m x 2% = 4.2m.

1: Pull the sag (and no more) out of the rope on the fence line.

2: Measure 2%, in this case 4.2m from your strainer post along the rope and mark it with some tape or permanent marker.

3: Using the Equirope strainer, pull the rope intill the 2% mark reaches the strainer post.

4: Take the rope around the roller post insulator (designed to hold the tension) and back onto itself and terminate ( or start a run) using the gold series joiner or connector. NOTE: joiners used for basic start or termination, however if electrical supply, jumper between strands, undergate wire or power supply wire is to be introduced the connector MUST be used and the incoming wire to be connected by tightening under the washer and wingnut.

5: Alway melt the ends of the Equirope with heat or a flame to prevent fraying.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Equirope must never be used with incoming wires or fittings of galvanised steel, or they WILL react causing the copper wires to break down over time. The silver coloured old series joiners and connectors are made of pewter and do not effect the rope negatively like galvanised steel. Any galavnised wires are to be brought onto the rope under the wingnut of the connector/joiner blocks.
