Ring Insulators
Gemi Elettronica patented its ring insulator design in 2019, producing a component that is measurably larger, more wind-resistant and more durable than conventional alternatives. Designed specifically for wooden posts, the insulator locks both polywire and tape firmly in position using a windproof retention clip that eliminates the conductor movement responsible for most fence faults on exposed sites. Gemi ring insulators are sold in packs from 10 to 100 units. Order direct from the manufacturer for factory pricing and UK delivery in 24–48h. Compatible with all Gemi conductor cross-sections and standard third-party polywire up to 6 mm².
Designed for wooden posts
The ring insulator snaps onto a round wooden post without tools and without drilling. The fixing geometry spreads the clamping load across the post circumference to prevent loosening under vibration caused by wire tension or animal contact. Conductors from 2.2 mm² up to 40 mm tape are held in the same insulator body, meaning a single product covers the entire Gemi conductor range for wooden post applications.
Windproof retention system — patented 2019
On open moorland, upland pasture and coastal sites, conventional insulators allow conductors to be lifted by strong gusts and flicked onto the post or adjacent vegetation, creating earth contact that drains energiser output. The patented Gemi clip prevents vertical displacement, keeping the conductor at the designed stand-off distance regardless of wind speed. CE certified and tested for prolonged UV exposure without brittleness.
Compatible with wire, tape and rope
The same ring insulator accommodates Gemi polywire in all cross-sections, electric fence tape up to 40 mm wide and braided rope conductors. No dedicated tape insulator or rope insulator is needed for wooden post installations, simplifying parts inventory for farms using mixed conductor types across different paddock configurations.
