Ancor 14 AWG Tinned Copper Wire Primary Cable – Black – 100 ft.

The Ancor primary wire is a top-tier choice for boat enthusiasts and professionals in the maritime industry who require reliable and long-lasting electrical wiring solutions. Crafted specifically for marine use, the wire ensures maximum protection against corrosion and electrolysis, which are common challenges in marine environments.

The wire's core advantage lies in the tinned copper stranding, which not only enhances its overall durability but also significantly increases its lifespan. This is particularly important in a setting where wires are often exposed to moisture and corrosive substances. Also, the wire is ultra flexible owing to its Type 3 stranding, allowing it to endure the constant vibration and flexing typically experienced on boats.

Further setting this product apart is Ancor's unique premium vinyl insulation. Not only does this insulation retain flexibility in sub-zero temperatures, but it also offers robust resistance against an array of potentially damaging substances like salt water, battery acid, oil, gasoline, and harmful UV radiation, which are ever-present risks in marine environments.

The wire is rated for 600 volts, and its insulation is rated at 105°C for dry conditions and 75°C for wet conditions, ensuring its performance remains uncompromised in varying environmental conditions. Meeting and exceeding various industry standards, this product promises reliability and safety, essential qualities for marine electrical systems.
