I read that PetSafe is not compatible with twisted wire, that you can only use solid core.

No, that is wrong. I use this wire with the PetSafe YardMax and it works perfectly fine. Perhaps you are confusing twisted wire with stranded wire. Twisted wire, when referring to in ground dog fences, is when two different wires (stranded or solid core) are twisted together to create a "dead spot" in your fence system.

This is not true, Petsafe will work with either solid core or stranded wire, I have used both for my own personal fence. Also have installed many Petsafe systems with stranded and solid wire. But we also have a listing for solid core wire if you are more comfortable with that. 1000ft Spool 14AWG 60mil Jacket (Solid Wire) Extreme Duty Dog Fence Wire - Compatible with all Brands but be aware this wire is much harder to work with because it is not as flexible.

This isn't paperclip wire, or anything like it. It takes a bend and wants to stay there. You can bend it with your hands, but I'd suggest a pair of pliers, needle nose if you want a tight bend. It will also provide much more rigidity than paperclip wire.

Not sure what you mean by twisted but it works fine. I fished it thru walls and duct work and it works great.

http://store.petsafe.net/extra-wireless-fence-receiver, SKU# PIF-275-19. That's what I used it with and it worked fine. I'm not sure what number you have if it would work?

You can not use non-insulated or twisted wire (twisting wire cancels signal ) I did not use other gauge wire you mentioned but it should work just more expensive

I don't know what twisted cat 6 wire is, however, it is the same wire/cable you would use for connecting internet cable to your computer. it worked very well for me in allowing me to use my laptop upstairs and in other rooms in the apartment.

Not sure what its compatible with but don't waste your money! I bought it and the wire broke within two days so I had to throw it out. I taped it and it still kept breaking. It's garbage.

worked great for me and my wire was not coated --- probably doesn't matter. Make sure your wire size and anchor size match.

Hello, I am not sure. You can try it, and if not, you can always return it. Thanks. www.FortressSecurityStore.com

I did that and it works fine. I used existing twisted wire and used the new solid to make a larger roaming area for my dog. My twisted is in conduit for extra protection from a digging dog.

I don't think this is compatible with boundary wire - the rock gives off a silent signal, and if the dog gets too close, it warns then mild shock. It worked well for my dog, an overly ambitious lab mix - I needed him to stop going through the gate and wandering - he now stands far clear of the gate.

We have the 'Petsafe" brand fence and collars. I would ask the manufacturer.

Sure can. Looks like PIRF-100. Link is: PetSafe Indoor Pet Barrier Transmitter, Operators Multiple CollarThey call those the transmitters and the collars the receivers instead of the other way around, though, it looks like.

Compatible is not the issue. It just does not work well. I have one that the company even tried swapping the collars for it. It never worked beyond about 2 ft. They are a piece of junk. Petsafe distributor finally gave me my money back for the entire fence but because I bought the indoor unit from Amazon and it took Petsafe two months to finally admit it does not work, I am stuck with it. Just don't buy it.

I'm looking to purchase this and solid core copper is the only way to go, in their picture it shows that the wires are solid core and not stranded. So is the picture wrong or does someone not know the difference between stranded and solid core?

Thank you for your question! This collar is compatible with the PetSafe Stubborn Dog Fencing System.
