Tech Tip – Why Is Ancor Wire More Flexible?

Wire flexibility depends on two important factors:

1. Type III Fine Copper Stranding

Ancor uses Type III ultra-flexible tinned copper stranding, made from numerous 30 AWG (0.010") copper strands. The finer the individual strands, the more flexible the cable becomes.

For example:

• 16 AWG Ancor wire contains 26 individual strands

• 4/0 AWG Ancor wire contains 2,109 individual strands

This fine stranding makes installation easier through conduits, rigging tubes, and tight spaces while reducing stress on electrical connections.

2. Premium Flexible Insulation

Ancor's premium vinyl insulation has a lower durometer (hardness) than many competing products.

Benefits include:

• Easier cable routing

• Better resistance to vibration

• Reduced risk of insulation cracking

• Longer service life

• Faster and easier installation
