The PRO Foil Sabre Body Wire is an essential piece of electric fencing equipment, engineered to deliver a fast, reliable connection between your foil or sabre weapon and the scoring apparatus. Built for fencers who compete or train with electric foil and sabre, this body wire uses a 3-pin connection at the weapon end and features an Italian type transparent plug at the reel end for a secure, tangle-free link to your spool cable.

Why choose an Italian type body wire?

Unlike standard bayonet-style connectors, the Italian type plug uses a spring-loaded pin and threaded collar system that locks firmly into the reel connector. This reduces the risk of accidental disconnections mid-bout — a common frustration with looser bayonet fittings — and is a preferred choice among competitive fencers and clubs that demand consistent scoring accuracy, in line with equipment standards set by the Federation Internationale d’Escrime (FIE). The transparent housing is a practical touch: it lets coaches, armourers, and fencers visually inspect the internal wiring for fraying, corrosion, or loose connections without disassembling the connector, making routine equipment checks faster.

Built for foil and sabre

This body wire is designed specifically for foil and sabre fencing, where the lamé (conductive jacket) requires a three-wire circuit to register valid touches correctly. Each PRO Foil Sabre Body Wire is made with durable, flexible cabling built to withstand the repeated bending, twisting, and pulling that happens during footwork, lunges, and fast directional changes on the strip.
