It features premium vinyl insulation rated for 600 volts and extreme temperatures (-40°F to 105°C), offering superior resistance to saltwater, battery acid, oil, gasoline, UV radiation, and abrasion. This wire exceeds UL 1426, US Coast Guard, and ABYC standards, making it the trusted choice for marine electrical wiring. ## Description From the manufacturer Ancor Marine Grade Wire Individually tinned copper wire strands. Wire Flexibility Explained Wire flexibility is influenced by two major factors: wire strand size and jacket hardness. Wire strand size has the largest impact on overall wire flexibility. As individual wire strand size decreases, wire flexibility increases. For boat cable, UL 1426 requires at least 19 individual strands for cables 16 AWG and larger. Ancor wire uses type 3 stranding which consists of individual 30 AWG (0.010") strands, regardless of the wire gauge. Ancor’s 16 AWG wire consists of 26 individual strands, while the 4/0 AWG wire consists of 2,109 individual strands. Jacket hardness is most commonly measured by durometer, with lower measurements reflecting a more flexible material. Ancor wire measures 7 points lower than competitive product (on a scale of 1-100), resulting in a more flexible product. Ancor Marine Grade Wire and Cable Manufactured from tinned copper stranding for maximum protection against corrosion and electrolysis. Ultra flexible (Type 3) stranding resists fatigue due to vibration and flexing. Ancor’s proprietary premium vinyl insulation stays flexible even in extreme cold (-40°F / -40°C) and resists salt water, battery acid, oil, gasoline and ultra-violet radiation. Exclusive insulation is rated at 600 volts, 221°F / 105°C dry and 167°F / 75°C wet, and is resistant to heat and abrasion. Exceeds all UL 1426, US Coast Guard Charter boat (CFR Title 46) and ABYC standards. Review: Quality wire - Great stuff!

I live near the water and there's a leak somewhere in the walls!** A: You need to buy Romex. That is approved to go inside walls. This wire would work for wires not inside a wall though but does NOT meet standards of amp load and fire safety to put inside a closed wall. **Q: are these actual verified AWG? some amazon wires have thick insulation with wimpy copper core which is several gauges less in actual core diameter.** A: Ancor is known for making the highest quality marine wire and connectors. I have used it for years, but never actually measured the gauge. However, all the various gauges I have used fit snugly into the appropriate size connectors, so I'm pretty sure the actual wire core is the correct diameter. **Q: Why Ancor wire table has significantly higher amp rating than equivalent wire of others?** A: Ancor has better insulation. They are constructed with premium vinyl insulation that is rated at 600 volts, 105 deg C dry and 75 deg C wet, stays flexible even in extreme cold (-40 deg F/C) and resists salt water, battery acid, oil, gasoline, heat, abrasion and ultra-violet radiation. I use this on all my cars Arizona summers are brutal **Q: Will this work for temporary using a portable solar panel array?** A: I currently using it in automotive application and have had no problems. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality wire *by S***G on 6 May 2026* Great stuff! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best on the market *by A***R on 14 April 2026* I like the Ancor Marine wire because it is great quality. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect Gauge of wire, and flexible enough for an Antenna installation *by "***" on 22 November 2025* Was needing some Marine Grade 14AWG wire for an End Fed Half Wave Antenna for a permanent installation.
