Ancor marine grade tinned cable exceeds UL 1426, ABYC and US Coast Guard Charter boat (CFR Title 46) standards.

Constructed with premium vinyl insulation - rated at 600 volts, 105°C dry and 75°C wet, stays flexible even in extreme cold (-40°C) and resists salt water, battery acid, oil, gasoline, heat, abrasion and ultra-violet radiation.

Highest quality ultra flexible (Type 3) tinned copper stranding  - provides maximum protection against corrosion and electrolysis while resisting fatigue due to vibration and flexing.

Sold by the metre.

Cable Sizing Recommendation:

Use 3% voltage drop for any “critical application” affecting the safety of the vessel or its passengers:

  • bilge pumps, navigation lights, electronics,  switch panels etc....

Use 10% voltage drop for any “non-critical” applications:

  • windlass, cabin lights, etc...

Ancor cable size recommendation

Length is the total distance from the +ve power source to the equipment and back to the -ve power source.
