Ancor 1 – 0 AWG Tinned Copper Wire Battery Cable – Red – 100 ft.

The Ancor 1 – 0 AWG Tinned Copper Wire Battery Cable in red is an essential product for marine electrical systems. With its 100 feet of length, it allows for extensive connections, ensuring power can be routed efficiently and safely on various vessel types. The cable's red color makes it easily identifiable as the positive connection in a DC electrical circuit. This specific design caters to boat owners and marine electricians who are looking for quality, durability, and reliability in their electrical installations.

When choosing a battery cable for marine use, there are several key considerations such as corrosion resistance, flexibility, insulation quality, and compliance with safety standards. The Ancor 1 – 0 AWG Tinned Copper Wire Battery Cable meets these criteria in the following ways:

• Tinned Copper Stranding: The use of finely stranded tinned copper not only protects against corrosion but also ensures enhanced electrical conductivity compared to bare copper when exposed to harsh marine environments.
• Ultra-Flexible (Type 3) Stranding: The flexibility of the cable is crucial for running it through tight spaces and for installation that requires the cable to bend around corners without causing stress or breaks in the conductors.
• Premium Vinyl Insulation: This proprietary insulation provides peace of mind as it maintains flexibility in extreme temperatures, and offers resistance to various destructive marine elements.
• High Voltage and Temperature Ratings: The cable is designed to withstand electrical loads with ratings of 600V and varying temperature conditions (105°C in dry and 75°C in wet conditions), which is crucial for the safety and longevity of electrical systems on boats.
• Heat and Abrasion Resistance: Adds another layer of durability, protecting the integrity of the cable even under the stress of the engine's heat or when routed through areas that may have sharp edges.
• Compliance with Standards: By exceeding UL 1426, US Coast Guard Charter boat (CFR Title 46), and ABYC standards, the cable assures users of its quality and adherence to stringent safety guidelines.

Given these features, the Ancor 1 – 0 AWG Tinned Copper Wire Battery Cable provides not only a robust solution for marine power transport needs but also ensures that electrical systems remain safe and operational, despite the challenging marine environment.
