Very useful for electrifying discontinuous sections of fence with the same power supply. For example, islands of fruit trees in a paddock. Heavy duty wire, simple connections, excellent.

We use an AC charger to electrify our electric mesh fencing which we move around over a few acres. We had been using posts and wire to carry out the charge. Now we use the insulated cable instead and it is much easier and can be driven or walked over. Well worth the extra cost.
