Details

Sooner or later you run out of rope halfway down a fence line, or a section gets broken by a falling limb, a vehicle, or a horse that misjudged the gap. This connector joins two lengths properly, clamping both ends so the woven conductors carry current across the splice instead of relying on whatever contact a knot happens to make. The difference shows up as voltage. A knotted splice is a resistor sitting in the middle of your fence, and its resistance changes with temperature and moisture, which is why a fence full of knots tests one way on a wet morning and another on a dry afternoon. A clamped connector gives you the same reading in both. Keep a couple in the fencing box. Repairs happen at inconvenient times, usually with stock already out and the light going, and the temptation is to tie a knot and promise yourself you will come back and do it right. You will not. Having a connector on hand means the quick fix and the proper fix are the same job.
