ELECTRIC FENCE

Blue plastic something as part of electric fence.

Perhaps someone would be able to tell me the purpose of this on an electric fence. Is it simply a support or does it also have a role in conducting the electricity?

Just passing through...
So.....
It's an Insulator..
Electric fencing insulators allow you to fasten
electrified wire, polywire, tape or rope to posts
without losing energy through the post..
This will ultimately mean LOW MAINTENANCE of your
tape, rope, polywire and wire and GOOD CONDUCTIVITY
through your fence...Amen..! :).

I've never seen something quite like that in America, though we do have insulators. I'm appreciative of Willie's explanation!
