KrisTech’s pet fence wire is used for wiring invisible electronic pet containment fences for residential or commercial systems.

The high molecular weight polyethylene (HMWPE) insulated copper or copper-clad steel conductor is buried underground and connected to a transmitter. As pets wander outside of the designated safety zone, the animal is warned via their electronic collar.

Our HDPE insulation is rugged, durable, and direct burial rated, with excellent moisture, crush, oil, chemical, and abrasion resistance. It can also safely operate in wet or dry locations up to 75°C.
