IntelliBraid® 6.0
Product Details
Long lasting, 6mm (1/4") dia. braided rope conductor for permanent electric fences.
Tinned copper filaments (2) run along the inner core. First-quality braided polyester and 12 stainless steel filaments provide support. This method reduces the stress on the copper filament, increases strand strength and provides more metal-to-metal and metal-to-animal contact points throughout.

Benefits
Polyester, the same plastic filaments as in EnduraSoft® 6.0, is noted for its strength, soft feel and inherently high resistance to UV light degradation.
Black/white alternating color increases effectiveness by offering contrast to animals against both light and dark backgrounds.
Can be pre-wound onto an EcoReel™ XL.

** Probable lifespan is not a warranty by Premier. Why not? Because we know that longevity is highly dependent upon, but not limited to, quality of installation, insulator(s) used, rope tension, animal/wind/snow/ice/vegetation pressure and UV exposure (altitude and climate).
Installation
- Attach a terminal insulator to an end post.
- Tie end of rope to terminal insulator.
- Unroll rope along the fence line.
- Insert line posts.
- Insert rope in the line posts at the right height(s) for your animals. (See recommendations below.)
- Attach insulators (preferably notched PI 21n) to corner and end posts.
- Tie rope to terminal insulator and spring at far end post. By hand, pull it tight enough to eliminate sagging between posts. Tie off by hand, or use a RopeLink. (Note: If the run of the fence is 1000' or more, use a P Spring at both ends of the fence instead of 1 end.)
- Use a wind-up reel system to rewind and store rope.
- Install and connect a fence energizer to a grounding system. Turn on energizer and confirm voltage is at least 3000V at the end of the fence line.

The IntelliBraid is a top-notch product that works electrified or not while providing a visual barrier in either case. I have no idea how long it will last, as we installed it 4 years ago and it is still like new. I always buy the 1320 roll to minimize connections and waste. Buy this, install it, and forget it. It works!
Linda J from Pennsylvania
I’ve used Premier’s fencing for 14 years. I love it! It’s easy to put up and maintain. And safe for my horse. It looks good and does a good job. Highly recommend.
Jerry K from Kentucky
This by far is an excellent product for our turnouts. We currently have 16 horses on-site and have never had any type of issue, including the race horses. Excellent service from the Premier 1 staff as well!
Ralph M from Illinois
I’ve been using Premier 1 IntelliRope for about 20 years now. I like the UV resistance.
I do wish they continued to manufacture the 1-1/2" IntelliTape. No other brands come close to it for UV endurance and respect by horses.
Annette B from Wisconsin
Very visible and durable. An easy fence conductor to work with.
