The Ancor Orange 14 AWG Tinned Copper Wire is a 250-foot spool of single conductor with Type 3 ultra-flexible stranding.
Orange is a function color rather than a power color, marking circuits that need distinguishing from ordinary positives. Switched feeds, accessory circuits fed from a secondary source, or anything an installer wants findable in a bundle of red all justify a separate color.
Fourteen gauge is the size most boat circuits use, so orange at this gauge is the practical choice for marking a whole subsystem rather than one wire. Two hundred and fifty feet is enough to wire a complete secondary system in a distinct color rather than running out partway.
Tinned copper strands resist corrosion and electrolysis in wet and saltwater environments. Ultra-flexible Type 3 construction routes through panels, consoles and machinery spaces while resisting fatigue from vibration and repeated flexing. Explore more marine wire.
- Orange marks a subsystem, not a single wire
- For switched feeds and secondary sources
- 14 gauge is the size most circuits use
- 250 feet wires a whole subsystem in one color
