Ancor 12 AWG Tinned Copper Wire Primary Cable – Black – 250 ft.

Black 12 AWG Tinned Copper Wire – 250′
Ancor Marine Grade wire products are highly durable and have a longer lifespan compared to others in the market. They exceed the standards set by UL 1426, ABYC, and the US Coast Guard Charter boat (CFR Title 46). These cables feature premium vinyl insulation rated at 600V, with a temperature rating of 105°C when dry and 75°C when wet. They remain flexible even in extremely cold temperatures as low as -40°F/C. In addition to this, they resist saltwater, battery acid, oil, gasoline, heat, abrasion, and UV radiation. The wire itself is made from high-quality ultra flexible (Type 3) tinned copper stranding. This provides excellent resistance against corrosion and electrolysis, while also withstanding fatigue caused by vibration and flexing. The wire gauge for this product is 12 AWG.
