Electric fence connection system

An electric fence connection system comprising:

• an electrically conductive body formed with a channel to mount the body on one of a plurality of electrically conductive polymer coated flexible rails, the polymer coated flexible rails including a plurality of cables fixedly spaced apart by a polymer web extending therebetween, wherein the body is mounted on a first side of the one of the plurality of polymer coated flexible rails opposite the polymer web such that the polymer web extends away from the channel on a second side of the one of the plurality of polymer coated flexible rails, the first and second sides being opposite sides of the one of the plurality of polymer coated flexible rails;
• a fastener coupled with the body and extending through the body into the channel, the fastener comprising a piercing feature at a distal end so as to pierce the one of the plurality of polymer coated flexible rails;
• and
• an aperture formed in the body to receive a power supply cable, the power supply cable operable to supply power to the plurality of polymer coated flexible rails via the electrically conductive body and the fastener.

A method of forming an electric fence connection comprising:

• mounting a body on one of a plurality of polymer coated flexible rails included in an electric fence, the plurality of polymer coated flexible rails included as part of a polymer web extending between the plurality of polymer coated rails,
• wherein mounting the body comprises positioning a part of the one of the plurality of polymer coated flexible rails in a channel included in the body such that the polymer web extends out of the channel and away from the body;
• threading a fastener into a threaded aperture formed in the body such that the fastener extends through the body into the channel;
• penetrating the one of the plurality of polymer coated flexible rails with a tip of the fastener and fixedly securing the one of the plurality of polymer coated flexible rails against an inner surface of the channel;
• forming an electrical connection between the plurality of polymer coated flexible rails and the fastener;
• coupling a power supply cable with the body;
• and
• supplying power from the power supply cable to the plurality of polymer coated flexible rails via the body and the fastener.
