Ancor Orange 18 AWG Tinned Copper Wire - 100'

Ancor Orange 18 AWG Tinned Copper Wire - 100' is the marine-grade electrical backbone every serious boater and angler needs aboard. Whether you're upgrading your boat's wiring harness, installing navigation systems, or running power to deck equipment, this tinned copper wire delivers the reliability required in harsh saltwater and freshwater environments. Built to exceed UL 1426, ABYC, and US Coast Guard Charter boat standards, it's engineered for vessels where electrical failure isn't an option—it's a safety liability.

The 18 AWG gauge provides optimal current capacity for mid-range marine circuits while maintaining flexibility for tight installations in console and cabin runs. Tinned copper construction resists corrosion far better than bare copper, a critical advantage when exposed to salt spray, moisture, and constant temperature cycling on the water. Premium vinyl insulation rated at 600V and 105°C ensures performance across deep-cycle battery banks, bilge pumps, trim systems, and fish finders without degradation. The 100-foot spool length supplies enough wire for multiple circuit runs without wasteful overage, keeping both material costs and installation complexity manageable.

Ideal for retrofit wiring, emergency repairs, and new-build installations on center console boats, cabin cruisers, and commercial fishing vessels, this wire works seamlessly with standard marine connectors and terminal lugs. The bright orange color simplifies circuit identification and troubleshooting—critical when diagnosing electrical issues underway. Install with proper breakers and fusing per ABYC standards to protect sensitive electronics and prevent fire hazards in confined engine compartments and fuel-tank areas.
