Main Features:

• Heavy-duty construction: Engineered to meet and surpass UL 1426, ABYC, and US Coast Guard Charter boat (CFR Title 46) standards.
• Premium vinyl insulation: Rated for 600V, it can handle temperatures up to 105°C dry and 75°C wet without losing flexibility, ensuring consistent electrical performance.
• Cold-resistance: The cable maintains its flexibility even in frigid conditions, down to -40°F/C, which is crucial for winter boating or storage.
• Corrosion protection: The tinned copper wire resists corrosion better than non-tinned wire, significantly prolonging the lifespan of the electrical systems on board.
• Ultra-flexible stranding: With its high-quality, ultra-flexible (Type 3) stranding, the wire combats fatigue from vibration and flexing—a common challenge in the boating environment.
• Resistance to harsh elements: The wire's insulation is highly resistant to UV radiation, salt water, battery acid, oil, gasoline, heat, and abrasion.
• Vibrant red color: The bold red insulation not only provides visibility but also helps in correctly identifying the positive polarity during installation.
• Length: Available in a 25 ft roll, it offers ample length for various installations without the need for splicing or joining.
