The Ancor 6 AWG Tinned Copper Wire Battery Cable is a top-of-the-line product designed to meet the rigorous demands of the marine environment. The use of tinned copper wire sets this cable apart, offering superior resistance against corrosion that's typically accelerated by the sea's saline conditions. By complying with and exceeding industry standards like UL 1426, ABYC, and US Coast Guard Charter boat regulations, this cable ensures outstanding durability and safety.
With its high-capacity premium vinyl insulation, rated at 600V, the cable is uniquely equipped to handle the challenges of both dry and wet conditions, maintaining operational integrity at temperatures between -40°C/-40°F and 105°C/221°F when dry, and up to 75°C/167°F when wet. The flexibility in extreme cold is a significant attribute, allowing for ease of installation and use even in frigid climates.
The Ancor battery cable's resistance is extensive, spanning salt water, battery acid, oil, gasoline, heat, abrasion, and UV radiation. Such comprehensive durability ensures that the cable can perform reliably in the harsh conditions often encountered in marine settings.
In terms of construction, the wire's ultra-flexible (Type 3) tinned copper stranding not only augments its corrosion resistance but also minimizes fatigue from vibration and flexing – a common issue in marine vehicles and environments. This resilience makes the cable an ideal choice for powering essential electrical systems on boats and other marine vessels.
The 6 AWG size of the wire denotes a specific thickness, allowing for ample electric current to be carried safely and efficiently, essential for larger vessels and complex setups. The generous 250 ft length provides enough material for comprehensive installations, extensive repairs, or multiple small projects.
