[Mobile-Portable] Best #10 Wire for Mobile Apps?

[D C *Mac* Macdonald]

Ancor wire products are made for marine usage.

As such, the individual strands are tinned to

reduce migration of corrosion back up under

the insulation.  Some of their wire products are

VERY flexible, having been constructed with the

individual strands of considerably smaller gauge

than is "normal" for the size of the cable.

 

It can be found at marine supply houses.  The

most widely spread marine supply is West Marine.

They have INLAND stores as well as those near

salt water.

 

I highly recommend Ancor for mobile installations.
