* Probable Life is not a warranty by Premier. Why not? Because we know that longevity is highly dependent upon, but not limited to, quality of installation, insulators(s) used, rope tension, animal/wind/snow/ice/vegetation pressure and UV exposure (altitude and climate).

** Lower number is better and more conductive
