Systems, devices and methods for facilitating the installation of conductive wires and data cables mounted on perimeter security fences

A perimeter security fence comprising:

• at least one vertical fence post having an upper end and a lower end;
• a wire receiving slot formed in an upper section of said at least one vertical fence post, wherein said wire receiving slot has an open, upper end and a closed, lower end;
• a reinforcing plate secured to the upper section of said at least one vertical fence post and overlying said wire receiving slot for enhancing the structural integrity of the upper section of said at least one vertical fence post that contains said wire receiving slot, and,
• at least one fastener for securing said reinforcing plate to the upper section of said at least one vertical fence post, at least one of said at least one fastener extending through said wire receiving slot.

A perimeter security fence comprising:

• a plurality of vertical fence posts spaced from one another along a fence line of a perimeter security fence, each said vertical fence post having an upper end and a lower end;
• a wire receiving slot formed in said upper end of each said vertical fence post;
• one or more conductive wires or cables disposed within said wire receiving slots of said vertical fence posts, wherein said one or more conductive wires or cables extend along the fence line of said perimeter security fence;
• at least one reinforcing plate secured to each said vertical fence post for covering at least a portion of said wire receiving slot to enhance the structural integrity of said vertical fence post in the vicinity of said wire receiving slot and to retain said one or more conductive wires or cables within said wire receiving slot;
• at least one fastener for securing said at least one reinforcing plate to each said vertical fence post, at least one of said at least one fastener extending through said wire receiving slot formed in said upper end of each said vertical fence post,
• one or more security devices secured to said perimeter security fence and being coupled with said one or more conductive wires or cables disposed within said wire receiving slots of said vertical fence posts.
