VERTEX Black 2 AWG Tinned Copper Battery Cable, 50 ft – 1426020150

Description

VERTEX Black 2 AWG Tinned Copper Battery Cable, 50 ft – 1426020150 is a marine battery cable built for dependable AC/DC electrical installations aboard boats. It uses corrosion-resistant Type III tinned-copper conductors and flexible marine-grade PVC insulation.

VERTEX rates its UL 1426 BC-5W2 boat cable for 600 V service and publishes temperature and ampacity data for marine installation conditions. Circuit protection and conductor sizing must still follow the vessel load, run length, bundling, ambient temperature, and applicable ABYC/USCG requirements.
