The Ancor 2 AWG Tinned Copper Wire Battery Cable is specifically engineered to meet the demanding conditions of the marine environment. Manufactured with high-quality materials, it is built to surpass stringent industry standards such as UL 1426, the American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC), and the US Coast Guard Charter boat specifications (CFR Title 46).
This battery cable features a robust construction, including premium vinyl insulation that is rated at 600V and can endure high temperatures, remaining flexible in extreme cold (-40°F/C) and stable in high heat (up to 105°C dry, 75°C wet). The insulation is designed to offer exceptional resistance against salt water, battery acid, oil, gasoline, heat, abrasion, and ultraviolet radiation, safeguarding your boat's electrical systems from common marine-related risks.
In terms of conductivity and safety, the ultra flexible (Type 3) tinned copper stranding is a critical element of this cable. This feature not only combats the destructive effects of corrosion and electrolysis but also ensures the cable can withstand the constant fatigue caused by vibrations and flexing that occurs on moving vessels.
The Ancor 2 AWG Tinned Copper Wire Battery Cable is a top-tier solution for boat owners who prioritize safety, performance, and longevity in their marine electrical systems. The 250-foot red cable provides ample length for various installations, making it an essential component for marine applications that demand high-quality and reliable electrical connections.
