Tinned 10/3 shore power cable 100 ft

This Ancor shore power cable is 100 feet long, which is approximately 30.4 meters.

The cable is equipped with 10 AWG (American Wire Gauge) conductors.

This cable is a "10/3" model, meaning it contains three conductors. They are black, white, and green, in compliance with ABYC standards for marine installations.

The conductors are made of tinned copper. Tin plating provides superior protection against corrosion and electrolysis, common phenomena in marine environments.

Tinned copper offers several critical advantages for marine use:

Corrosion resistance: The tinning protects the copper from oxidation and corrosion caused by moisture and saltwater.Prevention of electrolysis: It helps prevent copper degradation due to galvanic currents in a marine environment.Increased durability: The cable’s lifespan is extended, ensuring reliable connections over the long term.

This cable is rated for 600 volts. This rating indicates the cable's insulation capability and makes it suitable for heavy-duty applications.

Yes, the outer jacket of this cable is designed to be extremely robust and resistant. It is specifically formulated to withstand UV rays, oil, gasoline, heat, saltwater, battery acid, and abrasion. It is also waterproof for maximum durability in marine environments.

The outer sheath is high-visibility yellow. This color is chosen to enhance safety on board and on docks, making the cable easily identifiable and reducing the risk of tripping or accidental damage.

The proprietary vinyl insulation of this cable is rated for temperatures up to 60°C (140°F) for the cable itself. The conductor insulation can withstand up to 105°C in dry conditions and 75°C in wet conditions.

Yes, the design of this cable, including its three-conductor configuration (black, white, green) and specifications, complies with ABYC (American Boat and Yacht Council) standards for marine electrical installations.

The weight of this cable is approximately 129 kg per 1000 feet (284 lbs). For a 100-foot length, the cable weighs about 12.9 kg.

This cable is specifically designed as a shore power cable. It is intended to establish a reliable and secure electrical connection between a vessel and the power outlets available on docks.

The "10/3" designation indicates two main characteristics of the cable:

The "10" refers to the conductor gauge, which is 10 AWG (American Wire Gauge). The "3" indicates the number of conductors in the cable, which is three (black, white, and green).

Yes, the outer jacket of this cable is designed to be watertight, thereby contributing to its durability and safety in a marine environment, where constant exposure to water is expected.

This cable is designed to be connected to standard shore power systems and your boat's AC power inlet. It is recommended to ensure that the connectors used at the cable ends (if not already installed) comply with marine electrical standards and are properly sized for a 30 amp current and 125 volts voltage. For any installation or connection, it is always best to consult a qualified marine electrician.

This cable is a 10/3 model, typically used for 30-ampere, 125-volt shore power systems. To ensure compatibility, verify that the shore power outlet and your boat's power inlet match these electrical specifications.

No, this cable is a 10/3 model and is specifically designed for 30-amp 125-volt shore power systems. It is not suitable for use with 240-volt systems. Using an unsuitable cable could result in overload risks or equipment damage.

The main difference lies in corrosion resistance. Bare copper is prone to oxidizing and corroding quickly in a salty, humid marine environment, which can increase electrical resistance and reduce performance. Tinned copper, like the one used in this Ancor cable, is coated with a thin layer of tin that effectively protects it against these issues, ensuring better conductivity and a longer lifespan.

Although this cable is robust and of high quality, it is specifically designed and certified for marine applications. Its features, such as tinned copper, UV- and saltwater-resistant sheathing, and compliance with ABYC standards, are optimized for this demanding environment. For non-marine applications, it is recommended to use cables designed and certified for those specific uses to ensure safety and compliance.
