In order to connect a Mains energiser to both the earth post and the fence, Underground cable is used. This is also used to connect separate fences and to go under gates or any other separation.

As the whole fence relies on the adequate supply of current to the target. Tape, rope, twine or wires should be connected using purpose designed, positive screw-down connectors that will effect the best contact between the conductors.

Simple tying a knot is feasible PROVIDING the metal connectors are bared and twisted directly together. This is not very attractive, especially with tapes. Crocodile clips are not offered as they tend to cut through the plastic conductors.
