15M Electric Fence Lead Out Cable

This package consists of 15 meters of 2.5mm insulated lead out wire. The 2.5mm measurement is for the aluminium wire and does not include the plastic coating.

Why This Cable Uses Aluminium — and Why That’s a Good Thing

This underground lead-out cable uses a 2.5 mm aluminium core, carefully chosen for its excellent balance of conductivity, durability, and value for money.

Conductivity Matters

When carrying power from your energiser to the fence, conductivity is critical. Here's how the most common conductor materials compare:

Material	Conductivity (compared to copper)	Typical Cost
Copper	100%	Very high
Aluminium	Around 60%	Low
Steel	Around 10%	Moderate

Aluminium conducts electricity over six times better than steel and is much more affordable than copper. It’s an ideal choice for underground electric fence cable, where performance and cost both matter.

Why We Don’t Use Copper or Steel

Copper is the best conductor but can more than double the cost of the cable.
Steel is strong but conducts poorly. It’s commonly used in above-ground fencing wire, but it’s not suitable for underground runs due to high resistance.

A Note on Aluminium

Aluminium is softer than steel or copper. It performs well but requires care during installation. When stripping the wire:

Use a proper cable stripper,
Avoid bending the core too tightly,
Don’t over-tighten when making connections.

Handled properly, aluminium lead-out wire is the best choice for most electric fencing setups — offering reliable performance at a reasonable price.

You should ensure that your lead out wire is equal to or greater in diameter than the total wire component of your electric fence wire.

The lead out wire is designed to run from you electric fence energiser to your earth rod or rods.
