Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main advantage of tinned copper stranding?

The main advantage of tinned copper stranding used in the Ancor 14 AWG Wire is its maximum protection against the negative effects of corrosion and electrolysis. This makes the product exceptionally suited for the demanding marine environment, where exposure to water and salt is inevitable.

What is the flexibility of this wire?

The ultra flexible (Type 3) stranding of the Ancor wire ensures that it can handle the constant movement and bending that boat wiring is subjected to. This flexibility minimizes the risk of wire fatigue and breakage, protecting your boat's electrical systems continuity and reliability.

How does ANCOR's premium vinyl insulation differ from regular insulation?

Unlike standard insulations, ANCOR's premium vinyl insulation is engineered to withstand extreme environmental conditions without becoming inflexible or degrading. This guarantees enhanced durability and extended life of the electrical wiring on your vessel.

What are the temperature and voltage ratings of the insulation?

The insulation on the Ancor wire can handle significant voltage and temperature ranges. It's rated at 600 volts, and remains operational at temperatures of up to 105°C when dry and 75°C when wet. This ensures reliability across a wide range of operating conditions.

Does this wire meet industry standards?

Yes, this wire not only meets but exceeds rigorous industry standards, such as UL 1426, the US Coast Guard Charterboat regulations (CFR Title 46), and the ABYC standards. Such compliance speaks to the wire's quality and safety, making it a trusted choice for marine electrical systems.
