A 50kg undergate cable is a durable, insulated wire used in electric fences to carry high-voltage current safely beneath gates. It handles up to 50kg of physical stress and prevents the gate from becoming electrified, ensuring safe and continuous power flow across fence lines.
A 50kg undergate cable is a medium-duty, high-voltage insulated wire used in electric fencing to safely carry current beneath gates or non-electrified gaps without energizing the gate itself. Designed to withstand up to 50kg of mechanical stress, it features a UV-resistant, weatherproof outer sheath and a conductive core (typically galvanized steel or copper) capable of handling voltages up to 20,000V. Ideal for agricultural and security fencing, it ensures circuit continuity while protecting the cable from damage due to foot traffic, livestock, or light vehicle crossings.
| Attribute | Details |
|---|---|
| Product Name | Undergate Cable – 50 kg Grade |
| Use‑Case / Function | Used to carry high‑voltage pulses under gates, driveways or gaps in an electric fence line (lead‑out), while keeping the circuit continuous but avoiding making the gate itself live. Also used to connect energizer to fence wires and earth stakes in insulated way. |
| Load/Tensile Strength | Designed to tolerate up to 50 kg of mechanical stress (pulling / pressure / bending), e.g. when vehicles cross or the cable is accidentally stepped on / pressed. |
| Voltage Rating | Supports up to ~20,000 volts (common range for electric fences) — insulation must handle peak voltages safely. |
| Core / Conductor Material | Solid heavy galvanized steel wire (or optionally aluminium or copper, depending on cost vs conductivity). A commonly used diameter is about 1.6 mm for moderate distances / fences; for longer runs, a thicker (e.g. 2.5 mm) conductor is better. |
| Resistance | Typical resistivity is ~98 Ω/km for the 1.6 mm conductor, ~36 Ω/km for 2.5 mm. Lower resistance helps reduce voltage loss over distance. (From product lines in Kenya / Nemtek etc.) Nemtek+2urbancomputers.co.ke+2 |
| Insulation / Sheath | • Double insulation: inner and outer layers • UV‑stabilized polyethylene or similar material • Tough, abrasion resistant — to survive contact with soil, gate edges, moisture etc. • Weatherproof and able to retain insulation properties over time. |
| Colour | Typically black (for UV resistance and durability / blending into environment) ‒ but this can vary. kevicitech solutions+2Patsec Security Store+2 |
| Length / Sizes Available | Often sold in rolls of 25 m, 50 m, 100 m, etc. For example, many 50 m undergate cables are available. Nemtek+2MTech+2 |
| Diameter / Gauge Options | Common options include 1.5‑1.6 mm for moderate runs; 2.5 mm for longer/higher duty fences. Gauge influences both tensile capacity (resistance to breakage) and electrical resistance. Nemtek+2urbancomputers.co.ke+2 |
| Temperature / Environmental Durability | Resistant to sun / UV / rain / ground moisture. Must not degrade quickly with exposure. Also needs to resist abrasion from ground / gate movement. |
| Installation Suggestions | • Bury at least 30‑60 cm under gates or use protective conduit where possible • Minimize sharp bends; avoid kinks • Use waterproof connectors at joints • Ensure good earth/grounding (earth stakes) for safety • Inspect regularly, especially after vehicle crossings or gate operation. |
| Safety Considerations | Must be insulated so that gate parts remain safe to touch Avoid potential shorting by keeping exposed metal away from live conductor Use proper insulated fittings Ensure compliance with any local standards for electric fencing |
