For marine, automotive, and a variety of other applications, the ANCOR 2 AWG Tinned Copper Wire Battery Cable is a top-quality choice. This particular offering comes in a vibrant yellow color and extends to a length of 100 feet, providing ample length for installation and connections. Here are some of its standout features:
- Tinned Copper Stranding: The ANCOR Marine Grade™ wire is made from tinned copper stranding which provides maximum protection against corrosion and electrolysis. Tinned copper is known for its longevity in marine environments where wires are exposed to salt water and other corrosive elements.
- Ultra-Flexible Stranding: With its ultra-flexible (Type 3) stranding, this battery cable can withstand fatigue related to vibration and flexing. This is particularly helpful in applications, such as boats or moving machinery, where the wire can be expected to move regularly.
- Premium Vinyl Insulation: ANCOR's proprietary premium vinyl insulation is noted for its flexibility in cold conditions, as well as its resistance to a variety of damaging substances, including salt water, battery acid, oil, gasoline, and ultraviolet radiation.
- Temperature and Abrasion Resistance: The insulation is rated for 600V and designed to withstand temperatures up to 105°C when dry and 75°C when wet. It provides substantial resistance to heat and abrasion, safeguarding the cable's integrity even under harsh conditions.
- Industry Standards Compliance: This product goes beyond meeting standard requirements, exceeding UL 1426, US Coast Guard Charter boat (CFR Title 46), and ABYC standards. A symbol of its certified quality, this compliance reassures consumers of the cable's reliability and safety.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: What is the difference between tinned copper wire and regular copper wire?
A: Tinning refers to the process of coating the copper wire with a thin layer of tin. This provides enhanced protection against corrosion and electrolysis, making tinned copper wire more durable and long-lasting compared to regular copper wire.
Q: What is the advantage of ultra-flexible stranding?
A: Ultra-flexible stranding allows the wire to withstand the fatigue caused by vibration and flexing. This makes it ideal for applications where the wire needs to be constantly moving or subjected to mechanical stress, such as in boats or vehicles.
Q: Can this wire withstand extreme temperatures?
A: Yes, the proprietary premium vinyl insulation used in this wire is designed to retain its flexibility even in extremely cold conditions. It also has a temperature rating of up to 105°C when dry and 75°C when wet, making it suitable for a wide range of environments.
Q: Does the insulation resist chemicals and UV radiation?
A: Absolutely. The exclusive insulation on this wire resists salt water, battery acid, oil, gasoline, and ultraviolet radiation. This ensures the wire can withstand harsh marine and automotive conditions.
Q: Does this wire meet industry standards?
A: Yes, this product exceeds all UL 1426, US Coast Guard Charter boat (CFR Title 46), and ABYC standards, ensuring its reliability and compliance with recognized safety and performance requirements.
