The Ancor 12 AWG Tinned Copper Wire Primary Cable in Red is a superior marine-grade wire product tailored to perform under the most demanding marine conditions. It not only meets, but also exceeds industry standards such as those set by UL 1426, ABYC, and the US Coast Guard for charter boats.
Crafted with premium vinyl insulation, the wire boasts an impressive 600V rating and can effortlessly tolerate temperatures of up to 105°C in dry conditions and 75°C when exposed to moisture. Despite its tough exterior, it retains superior flexibility in even extremely cold temperatures reaching -40°F/C, ensuring it is not just durable but also easy to work with.
The wire's resilience is further established through its resistance to an array of environmental hazards common in maritime settings, including salt water, battery acid, oil, gasoline, as well as being able to withstand high levels of heat, abrasion, and UV radiation.
Using the highest quality ultra-flexible (Type 3) tinned copper stranding, the wire is all but immunized against corrosion and electrolysis, which makes it an ideal product for marine electrical systems. It's also engineered to withstand the rigors of vibration and flexing, ensuring long-term performance without suffering from fatigue.
The wire gauge of this high-caliber product is 12 AWG, signifying a heftier and more robust capacity for electrical connectivity compared to higher-gauge (and thus thinner) wires.
This 400-foot spool of Ancor 12 AWG Tinned Copper Wire Primary Cable in Red is an extensive resource for any marine electrician or boat owner who requires a substantial quantity of reliable wire for diverse marine electrical projects.
