This Ancor 18 AWG Tinned Copper Wire is in a dark blue color and has a length of 35 feet. It is a marine grade wire that is known for its durability and longevity, surpassing various industry standards such as UL 1426, ABYC, and US Coast Guard Charter boat (CFR Title 46) requirements.
This wire is made with premium vinyl insulation that can withstand up to 600V and has a temperature rating of 105°C in dry conditions and 75°C in wet conditions. It remains flexible even in extremely cold temperatures as low as -40°F/C and is resistant to salt water, battery acid, oil, gasoline, heat, abrasion, and UV radiation.
One of its standout features is the use of high-quality ultra flexible (Type 3) tinned copper stranding. This provides excellent protection against corrosion and electrolysis while also resisting fatigue caused by vibration and flexing.
Here are some technical specifications:
- Wire Gauge: 18 AWG
- Nominal O.D. (inches): 7/64
- Nominal O.D. (mm): 3
