Ancor 16 AWG Tinned Copper Wire Primary Cable – Pink – 250 ft.

When it comes to marine electrical systems, the Ancor 16 AWG Tinned Copper Wire Primary Cable – Pink – 250 ft stands out as a superior choice for boaters and marine professionals looking for durable, reliable wiring solutions. Constructed to provide exceptional longevity and performance, this marine-grade primary cable is engineered to withstand the challenging marine environment.

With its compliance with stringent industry standards such as UL 1426, ABYC, and the US Coast Guard Charter boat standards (CFR Title 46), this Ancor wire assures users of its quality and safety. The importance of using certified marine cable cannot be overstated, as it significantly reduces the risk of electrical mishaps on watercraft.

Superior Insulation and Durability are hallmarks of Ancor's wire, thanks to its premium vinyl insulation. Designed for both wet and dry environments, the wire boasts a 600V rating and is capable of handling high temperatures up to 105°C when dry and 75°C when wet. It's not just thermal resilience that this wire has to offer; it is also designed to stay highly flexible in sub-zero conditions, withstanding temperatures as low as -40°F/C.

Corrosion can be a major issue in marine environments, which is why the tinned copper stranding of this Ancor wire is so beneficial. Tinned copper not only resists corrosion better than non-tinned wire, but it also significantly decreases the likelihood of electrolysis between dissimilar metals, a common issue in marine electrical systems. Moreover, the ultra-flexible tinned copper stranding ensures that the wire stands up to the constant vibration and flexing that comes with life at sea.

Pink in color and available in a 250 ft. spool, the wire offers ample length for various installations and allows for easy identification among other wires. A gauge of 16 AWG makes this cable suitable for a range of applications from general lighting to intricate circuitry on boats.
