607726 Disclosed is a wire clamp for ensuring improved connection between two wires of an electric fence. The wire clamp includes a body having a first end and a second end; an aperture in the body extending between the first end and the second end; an opening extending at an angle along a side of the body between the first end and the second end. The opening intersects with the aperture along its length; and a securing device or screw or threaded fastener is configured to extend into the aperture to securely retain the wires. The opening intersects with the aperture below an uppermost point of the aperture at one or both ends of the body. The height of the aperture is greater at one end than the other end. The opening at one of the ends is located higher on a side of the body than at the other end. The body includes an attachment portion at one of the ends of the body, the attachment point or raised lip configured to interact with a connector clip at an end of a wire to be secured by the wire clamp. The clip is an R-clip configured to be drawn over the raised lip to locate the end of the wire relative to the wire clamp and interaction between the attachment portion and the connector at the end of the wire permits pivotal rotation of the wire about the attachment portion.
