MaxiShock Double Insulated Cable
Premier’s MaxiShock 7-strand cable covered with a double layer of pliable plastic insulation.
Because of its low tensile strength and thick zinc coating, wrapping it several turns around the conductor or stainless P spring provides an enduring connection capable of transferring the high volts and amperes of low impedance energizers.
By contrast, HT insulated wires, including our Double Insulated Wire are much less pliable to work with on such connections.

Great product, easy to work with. A must with any electric fence.
Lee P from Missouri
Great cable, very easy to work with. Seems like it will last a long time.
Dennis M from Michigan
Previously used (house type) electrical wires underground and found in a short time that the insulation broke down. This (double insulated, single strand) product held up very well. It’s been in the ground for 3 yrs.
Katherine H from North Carolina
This cable is great and affordable. Yes, it’s a little difficult to strip, but perfect for running power under a gate, etc. Just better quality then what you can purchase locally.
Bill K from California
Strong, yet flexible wire. Little difficult to strip the insulation at the ends and maintain all of the conductors. You just have to be careful doing so.
