The Ancor 6 AWG Tinned Copper Wire Battery Cable in red, measuring 100 feet in length, is a marine-grade wire specifically designed to provide maximum protection against corrosion and electrolysis. It is made from tinned copper stranding, which enhances its durability and ensures long-lasting performance.
This battery cable is extremely flexible, thanks to its ultra-flexible (Type 3 stranding). It can withstand vibrations and flexing without experiencing fatigue, making it ideal for marine applications.
What sets this cable apart is ANCOR's proprietary premium vinyl insulation. This insulation remains flexible even in extreme cold temperatures and offers exceptional resistance against saltwater, battery acid, oil, gasoline, and ultra-violet radiation.
The exclusive insulation of this cable has a rating of 600V and is resistant to heat and abrasion. It can handle temperatures up to 105°C in dry conditions and 75°C in wet conditions. This cable exceeds all UL 1426, US Coast Guard Charter boat (CFR Title 46), and ABYC standards, ensuring its adherence to stringent quality and safety regulations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does this cable come with connectors?
A: No, this cable does not come with connectors. It is sold as a standalone wire product, giving you the flexibility to choose and attach your own specific connectors.
Q: Is this cable suitable for automotive applications?
A: While this cable is primarily designed for marine applications, it can also be used in automotive applications that require a 6 AWG wire. However, it is always recommended to consult the specific electrical requirements of your vehicle or seek advice from a professional before making any wiring decisions.
Q: Can I use this cable for both positive and negative connections?
A: Yes, this cable can be used for both positive and negative connections. It is often referred to as “battery cable” because it is commonly used in battery wiring applications, requiring one wire for the positive connection and another for the negative.
Q: Can I cut and splice this cable to a shorter length?
A: Yes, you can cut and splice this cable to a shorter length if necessary. However, ensuring that proper stripping, crimping, and insulation techniques are used is crucial to maintain the wire's integrity and safety post-modification.
Q: Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?
A: Yes, this cable is suitable for outdoor use, thanks to its premium vinyl insulation which provides excellent resistance against various environmental factors. Nevertheless, it's important to adequately protect the connections and the wire against direct water exposure to avoid potential damage or corrosion.
