I want to expand the invisible pet fence in the backyard. I contacted the company to inquire what type of wire they used. I was told the wire is 14g stranded copper with a 44 XLPE jacket. In my interwebz search I cannot really find anything for XLPE jacket. I did find wire listed as XHHW and it seems to be similar. This wire would be spliced to the the existing wire and buried about 6" underground. I would told there is no electricity and it only transmit a radio signal. Is this the type of wire im looking for? https://www.homedepot.com/p/So...e-37092471/205810726 | ||

I don't know man I just got here myself |
You can buy the XLPE wire here. This wire is rated for burial, the home depot wire is not. | |||

This is usually called RHH-RHW-2/USE-2 cross link poly. The jacket is rated for direct burial. The 44 appears to insulation thickness i.e. .044 in. What mrw referenced appears to be correct. A local electrical supply house may have or be able to order this for you if you buy in standard package quantity usually a 500 ft. roll. May be a good idea to use a moisture resistant splice. | |||
