Polybraids (Mega Braid and Electrobraid™)
The difference between the polyropes and polybraids is that polyropes are generally made from twisted strands of polyethylene while polybraids consist of braided polyester fibers—sometimes woven around a core of polypropylene, as in the case of the two braids offered here. One of these braids (02-62B), commonly termed “Mega braid”) is 0.3 inches thick. It has 8 large stainless steel conductor wires, a breaking strength of 1500 pounds, a blue tracer wire for improved visibility, and a limited 20-year warranty. The other braid (02-64, Electrobraid™) has thick copper wires for high conductivity combined with great durability and strength. Well-suited to use on long fences, Electrobraid comes with a limited 25-year warranty. Electrobraid will reliably carry an electric charge for over 8 miles.
