No matter what application your wire cables are being used for, it is important to ensure that you are using quality-made cables that meet industry standards. The last thing you want is to complete all of your wiring and then find that they are not working the way they should be. This is especially important when it comes to Boat Battery Cables for marine applications.
In order to ensure you will not be stuck out at sea with shoddy wiring, here are a few marine grade battery cable features to keep an eye out for:
1. Tinned Copper Strands
In electrical applications, tinning is the process of thinly coating strands of wire to aid in the resistance of rust and corrosion. When looking for wires made for marine applications, tinning is a must because these wires and cables will be in contact with water where rust and corrosion are more likely to happen than not. At EWCSWire, all of our boat cables and wires are tinned copper strands so that we can provide our customers with the safest and best quality wires and cables online.
2. Strand Count
One of the most important things to look out for when purchasing any wires and cables is flexibility. If you are preparing to use wires in tight spaces, you need to be sure that the wires are flexible enough so that they can bend when you need them to. If they are stiff, they could crack and cause electrical issues. One way to be sure your wires will have more flexibility is to buy the wires with a higher strand count. A higher strand count will be more flexible than one with a lower strand count, will be more reliable, and offers longevity when used in tight marine applications where vibration and flexing are sure to occur.
3. Length
Length is another important factor to keep in mind. In marine applications, where wiring spaces are tight, you will want to be sure that you can buy cables in a custom length to fit your needs. Many retailers or wires and cables do not offer customized sizes. This leaves people with wires and cables that are too short or too long for their uses. At EWCSWire, however, we offer all of our wires and cables in customized lengths so that you can order the exact size you need without having to make any accommodations.
4. Distributor
One of the most important things to keep in mind when buying any kind of cable is who you are buying from. Electrical cables can cause a lot of problems (even dangerous problems) if they do not meet industry standards. You do not want to complete your wiring and suddenly find that a fire has started because the wiring you used was not made with quality materials or tested for accuracy and safety. At EWCSWire, all of our wires and cables are UL or ETL tested and our Boat Battery Cables carry the ABYC and our Boat Battery Cables carry the ABYCstamp of approval so you can be sure that you are getting the best quality products to get the job done safely and efficiently.
