Titanium Contact Point Lengths: 5/8, 3/4 or 1 Inch?

Compare 5/8-inch, 3/4-inch, and 1-inch titanium contact points by coat type, skin sensitivity, and fit so you can pick the right length for your dog's e-collar.
Quick answer
Choose the 5/8-inch short titanium points for thin or short coats, the 3/4-inch long titanium points for medium to thick fur, and the 1-inch CP TITANIUM MAX for heavy or dense coats. All three are titanium and hypoallergenic; length is the main decision.
Why length matters more than material here
All three options share titanium construction, so the real difference is how far the point reaches through fur to make consistent skin contact. Too short and the signal becomes intermittent; too long and the point can press or sit loosely depending on the collar fit.
The catalog lists lengths of 5/8 inch, 3/4 inch, and 1 inch. It does not list a universal coat-thickness chart, so use your dog's coat and a hands-on fit check rather than guessing from breed alone.
The trade-off: reach versus a low profile
Longer points reach through denser fur but sit further off the collar, which can make them easier to snag or bump in tight spaces. Shorter points keep a lower profile and are less likely to catch on bedding or brush, but they may not reach skin through a heavy coat.
Titanium's hypoallergenic property is consistent across the line, so if your dog has sensitive skin, you are not trading comfort for length—you are only changing reach.
When the 1-inch option is the wrong choice
A 1-inch point on a short-coated dog can bottom out against the collar or sit at an angle, which may reduce consistent contact rather than improve it. If your dog has a thin coat and you are considering the 1-inch CP TITANIUM MAX only because it sounds more secure, start with the 5/8-inch or 3/4-inch instead and check fit first.
Length trade-offs by coat and fit
- 5/8-inch short points: Best for short or thin coats where a low profile matters. Trade-off: may not reach through medium or heavy fur, so contact can become inconsistent as the coat thickens. Check contact with the collar fitted as you normally would before committing.
- 3/4-inch long points: A middle-ground reach for medium to thick coats. Trade-off: sits further off the collar than 5/8-inch, so watch for snagging on brush or bedding. If your dog is between coat types, this is the safer starting length.
- 1-inch CP TITANIUM MAX: The longest option for heavy or dense coats. Trade-off: on short coats it can sit at an angle or bottom out, reducing consistent contact rather than improving it. Only move to 1 inch if 3/4-inch points demonstrably fail to reach skin.
Product facts at a glance
- Long Titanium Contact Points 3/4″: Long 3/4-inch titanium contact points designed for dogs with thicker coats or longer fur. The extra reach helps maintain consistent contact through medium to heavy fur without switching to a full 1-inch point.
Long Titanium Contact Points 3/4″ - Short Titanium Contact Points 5/8″: Short 5/8-inch titanium contact points with a shorter contact profile. A lower-profile option for short-coated dogs or situations where a long point would sit too far off the collar.
Short Titanium Contact Points 5/8″ - CP TITANIUM MAX 1″: CP TITANIUM MAX 1-inch titanium hypoallergenic contact point built for durability and regular use. The longest supplied option for dense or heavy coats where 3/4-inch points do not reliably reach skin.
Which length fits your dog?
Best for
- Dogs with short or thin coats: 5/8-inch short titanium points
- Dogs with medium to thick fur: 3/4-inch long titanium points
- Dogs with heavy or dense coats: 1-inch CP TITANIUM MAX
Not for
- Short-coated dogs considering 1-inch points as a default upgrade
- Heavy-coated dogs relying on 5/8-inch points without a fit check
- Anyone assuming length alone fixes inconsistent contact without checking collar fit
