Agrifence Line to Line Connector – Electric Fence Wire Connector

Agrifence Line to Line Connector for Tape – Aluminium, 60cm

Tape is woven, and a woven conductor needs contact across its width rather than at one point. This connector uses aluminium plates that clamp the full width of the tape, joined by a 60cm insulated lead, so two tape lines are bonded properly rather than pinched at a corner.

Aluminium is the material choice worth knowing about. It does not corrode into a high-resistance joint the way a bare steel clip will after two wet winters, and a corroded joint is one of the commonest reasons a fence that tested fine in April reads low in November.

Performance & Benefits

• Aluminium contact plates that will not corrode into a resistive joint.
• Clamps across the full width of the tape rather than at a single point.
• 60cm insulated lead between the two ends.
• Bonds two tape lines so both sit at the same voltage.
• Supplied singly.

Suitable For

• Multi-strand tape fencing for horses and ponies.
• Long tape runs losing voltage towards the far end.
• Bringing a new tape line into an existing energised fence.
• Permanent and semi-permanent paddock perimeters.
• Not intended for rope or plain wire — the Agrifence Line Connector for Rope and Wire, code H4905, is the version for round conductors.

How to Use

• Turn the energiser off before opening either clamp.
• Lay the tape flat between the aluminium plates and close the clamp onto its full width.
• Fit the second end to the other line, keeping the lead clear of earthed posts and wire.
• Restore power and check the voltage on both lines with a fence tester.
• Reopen and reseat the clamp if a reading is low; tape that has folded inside the plate makes poor contact.

Specification

• Agrifence product code H4906. Barcode 5052150000923.
• Material: aluminium contact plates.
• Lead length 60cm.
• This is the 20mm tape version; Agrifence make a separate 40mm version under code H4907.
• Supplied as a single connector.
• Agrifence publish no conductor cross-section or resistance figure for the lead, so none is given here.
