What is the maximum block length for electric fencepost?

I would like to have just two ends of the fenceposts to span 55 blocks if possible.

 
It’s definitely less than that. I don’t have an exact figure but from personal experience I’d say it’s around 15 blocks. It might just be the same length you can stretch regular wires.

 
I think it's 14 blocks.  I know I had a base where I stretched them as far as they would go, and it was an even number of blocks, but I can't recall the exact number.

 
OK. thanks guys.

I have a tunnel that is 5 x 55 so I could go with fences that are 5 blocks in length across the 55 block tunnel, but that is a pain to put up and repair seeing how I have 4 tunnels to do at those dimensions.

You don't have to align the fence straight north-south or east-west. Your electric wire could zig-zag, alternating between posts on the left and right sides, and stretched out to use as few poles as possible. Unless your defense requires zombies to bunch up in the same location.

 
50 blocks sounds way too long for a horde base, awesome for sure, but rather hard to use. If you're planning to snipe along it, just let them run the first 30.

If it's just a travel tunnel, I dunno, slap some checkpoints along the way, with a fence or two across and some wall-mounted turrets keeping the peace. :)

Yeah, if it's 50 blocks for a horde base, you're going to wind up with zombies beating on your walls instead of going down the tunnels, most likely.  I've had that happen where I built my base too large, and the zombies just went after the wall nearest me during horde night (despite it being about 15 blocks below me) instead of through the paths I'd built for them.
