The Ancor 14 AWG Tinned Copper Wire is a premium quality primary cable that comes in a green color and spans 18 feet in length. It is engineered to meet the strenuous requirements of marine environments. Its construction and performance exceed various industry standards such as UL 1426, ABYC, and the US Coast Guard Charter boat (CFR Title 46).
The cable is insulated with a high-grade vinyl that is not only capable of handling a voltage rating of 600V but also can tolerate a wide range of temperatures from high heat to extreme cold, maintaining its flexibility and integrity under various conditions. Additionally, it features superior resistance to a slew of harsh environmental factors.
What differentiates the Ancor wire is the inclusion of ultra flexible (Type 3) tinned copper stranding. This stranding is meticulously designed to offer top-notch protection against common issues such as corrosion and electrolysis and is equally adept at withstanding mechanical stresses like vibration and flexing.
The provided 14 AWG gauge of this wire ensures that it has broad applicability and can be utilized in numerous applications where this size is required.
