ANCOR#102810,Red 16AWG Primary Wire ,100',

The Ancor Tinned 16AWG Primary Wire 102810 is a top-of-the-line electrical wire designed to meet the demands of marine and harsh environment applications. This tinned wire is known for its exceptional performance and reliability, making it a preferred choice among professionals and DIY enthusiasts alike.

Key Features:

1. Tinned Copper Construction: The wire is constructed using high-quality tinned copper strands. Tinning involves coating the copper strands with a thin layer of tin, which enhances its resistance to corrosion and oxidation. This makes the wire highly suitable for marine and humid environments, ensuring longevity and optimal electrical performance.

2. 16AWG Gauge: The wire features a 16AWG (American Wire Gauge) size, making it versatile for various electrical tasks. It is ideal for applications requiring moderate current handling, such as lighting, instrumentation, and general-purpose wiring.

3. High-Performance Insulation: The Ancor Tinned 16AWG Primary Wire 102810 is encased in a premium-grade insulation material. The insulation provides excellent protection against abrasion, chemicals, oils, and other potential damages, ensuring the safety and durability of the wire.

4. Resistant to Extreme Conditions: Whether it's exposure to saltwater, moisture, or extreme temperatures, this wire can withstand challenging environmental conditions, making it a reliable choice for marine, automotive, and outdoor applications.

5. Easy Identification: The wire is color-coded, and the standard color for this product is black. This simplifies the identification process during installation and makes it easier to distinguish between different wiring circuits.

6. Reputable Brand: Ancor is a well-known brand in the marine and electrical industry, recognized for producing high-quality products. The Ancor Tinned 16AWG Primary Wire 102810 continues this legacy by providing a top-notch wire solution for all your electrical needs.

Whether you're rewiring your boat, outfitting your RV, or working on other electrical projects that demand a reliable and durable wire, the Ancor Tinned 16AWG Primary Wire 102810 is the perfect choice. Its tinned copper construction, combined with robust insulation, ensures that your electrical connections remain secure, safe, and protected from the harshest elements.

Wire Flexibility Explained

Wire flexibility is influenced by two major factors: Wire strand sized 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.
