Ancor Orange 12 AWG Tinned Copper Wire - 250'

Ancor Orange 12 AWG Tinned Copper Wire in 250-foot spool lengths is a marine-grade electrical conductor engineered to meet the harshest saltwater environments. Built to exceed UL 1426, ABYC, and US Coast Guard Charter boat (CFR Title 46) standards, this tinned copper wire delivers the corrosion resistance and electrical reliability that offshore fishing vessels, commercial boats, and serious recreational anglers demand when wiring trolling motors, navigation systems, fish finders, and deck lighting.

The 12 AWG gauge provides optimal current capacity for mid-range electrical loads while maintaining flexibility in tight engine compartments and through hull passes. Premium vinyl insulation rated at 600V with temperature limits of 105°C dry and 75°C wet ensures stable performance across the range of conditions boaters face—from sun-baked deck runs to submerged bilge wiring. The insulation formulation resists salt water penetration, battery acid spillage, fuel contamination, oil exposure, and UV degradation from prolonged sun exposure, remaining supple even in extreme cold down to -40°F/-40°C. Tinned copper construction actively resists oxidation and corrosion in marine atmospheres, eliminating the green patina and resistance increase that plague bare copper in saltwater service.

This 250-foot spool is sized for larger vessel rewiring projects, full system installations on fishing boats, or restocking service shops. Whether troubleshooting corroded wiring on a decades-old hull or building out a new console on a tournament fishing platform, the extended length eliminates mid-run splices and reduces voltage drop across longer runs. The high-flex construction accommodates engine vibration and wave motion without cracking insulation or breaking strand integrity.

Orange color coding meets ABYC electrical standards for simplified system identification and troubleshooting, ensuring compliance with marine electrical codes and reducing installation errors on complex wiring layouts.
