The Ancor 16 AWG Tinned Copper Wire Major Cable in black spans 500 feet and is specifically engineered for demanding marine applications. Its superior construction ensures long-term performance and reliability in harsh sea environments.
Ancor Marine Grade wire products are esteemed for not only their robustness but also their adherence to high-quality standards. These wires surpass the stringent regulations of UL 1426, the American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC), and the US Coast Guard Charter boat (CFR Title 46) criteria. Ensuring your vessel's wiring is compliant with these standards is paramount for safety and functionality on the water.
The wire features an exceptional construction with premium vinyl insulation that is rated at 600V, operating efficiently at temperatures of 105°C when dry and 75°C when exposed to moisture. This insulation remains highly flexible in extreme conditions, maintaining its performance even at temperatures as low as -40°F/C. The toughness of the material means it's resistant to a multitude of potentially damaging factors, including saltwater, battery acid, oil, gasoline, heat, abrasion, and UV radiation. The Type 3 tinned copper stranding is the pinnacle of quality, guaranteeing flexibility along with top-notch protection against the detrimental effects of corrosion and electrolysis.
Furthermore, this wire's robustness extends to its capability to fend off fatigue from both vibration and flexing, an essential attribute for any marine cable exposed to constant movement and mechanical stress.
