The Ancor 18 AWG Tinned Copper Wire Primary Cable in green is a durable and resilient marine-grade wire that is designed to go above and beyond industry standards. It is tailored for longevity and the ability to thrive in harsh marine environments, making it an ideal choice for wiring projects on boats and other marine equipment.
This wire is adeptly designed with high-quality vinyl insulation that boasts a formidable 600V rating and is capable of withstanding temperatures up to 105°C when dry and 75°C when wet. Notably, it retains its flexibility in extreme cold, able to perform even in temperatures as low as -40°F/C. Moreover, it combats common maritime challenges such as exposure to saltwater, battery acid, oil, gasoline, as well as resisting heat, abrasion, and the damaging effects of ultraviolet radiation.
One of the key qualities of this wire is its use of the highest standard ultra-flexible (Type 3) tinned copper stranding, which is an excellent safeguard against corrosion and electrolysis. Additionally, it maintains a high resistance to fatigue from vibration and flexing, underpinning its durability and ensuring consistent performance.
