Purple 18 AWG Tinned Copper Wire – 100 ft. - Review

The Ancor Marine Grade wire products are known for their durability and longevity. They surpass standards set by UL 1426, ABYC, and US Coast Guard Charter boat (CFR Title 46). This specific wire is designed with premium vinyl insulation rated at 600V, 105°C in dry conditions and 75°C in wet conditions. It remains flexible even in extreme cold temperatures (-40°F/-40°C) and offers resistance against salt water, battery acid, oil, gasoline, heat, abrasion, and UV radiation.

When it comes to protection against corrosion and electrolysis, this wire features the highest quality ultra flexible (Type 3) tinned copper stranding. This construction also helps the wire withstand fatigue caused by vibration and flexing. The wire gauge is 18 AWG, and its nominal outer diameter measures 7/64 inches or about 3mm.
