Ancor Tan 14 AWG Tinned Copper Wire 250-Foot

The Ancor Tan 14 AWG Tinned Copper Wire is a 250-foot spool of single conductor with Type 3 ultra-flexible stranding.

Tan is one of the function colors ABYC assigns to specific systems rather than to polarity. Engine instrumentation uses a defined set of colors, and tan is among them. Following that scheme means an engine harness can be read by anyone familiar with the standard rather than only by whoever built it.

That matters most on engine and instrument wiring, where a fault has to be diagnosed by someone who did not do the original work. Using whatever color was on the shelf saves nothing and costs diagnostic time later.

Tinned copper strands protect against corrosion and electrolysis in damp 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.
