Quality Marine Electrical Cable From EWCS Wire

When it comes to Marine Electrical Cable, knowing the differences between what makes wiring suitable for marine applications and terrestrial wire is crucial. The American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC) has a set of standards in place for proper wire and cable construction and wiring guidelines to ensure all marine wiring is completed safely. If you need wires and cable for working in marine applications, the team here at Electric Wire and Cable Specialists (EWCS) can help you find a great deal on ABYC compliant marine wiring supplies.

EWCS Wire is an American manufacturer of the highest quality marine grade wire. We also offer many varieties of wire and cables for terrestrial applications ranging from aluminum building wire to heavy-duty welding cables. Next time your business needs a source for any wiring needs, let our team get you the wiring supplies you need shipped fast at a great price.


When it comes to boat cable, you need a lot of flexibility to cope with the constant movement boats have to deal with. Rigid cables, like the solid cored Romex used in homes, are too rigid to be installed in marine environments. With enough rocking, these cables will eventually work themselves loose or their insulation will split or strip. All of our marine wires and cable feature finely stranded conductors to ensure maximum flexibility.

We also used tinned copper to make the conductors for all of our marine wires and cables. While this is not a requirement from the AYBC, it is a safer option than raw copper. By plating the strands of copper with tin, the wiring becomes much less reactive while still being extremely conductive. If your conductors are exposed to the humid environment inside a boat, this layer of protection will keep them from quickly corroding.

The final layer of protection on our marine electrical cables is the insulation. The conditions in boats are not only wet but they can also contain gas, oil, and abrasive surfaces that can damage your wiring. We use extremely flexible insulation that resists acids, alkalis, gas, oil, and moisture to ensure that your cables will remain safe and secure.

We carry both single conductor boat wires in sizes ranging from 16 AWG to 4/0 AWG. Unlike wiring on land, you should never use wires with a gauge smaller than 16 AWG for marine applications. We also carry multiple conductor cables include two conductor cables in 16 AWG to 12 AWG and three-conductor cables in 12 AWG and 10 AWG.

If you regularly work with marine wiring, or you are looking to start, having the correct cables is essential to avoid possibly catastrophic results. Our team here at EWCS can help you find the perfect wires and cables for any marine application. If you have any questions about our marine electrical cable or any of our other wire and cable products, you can reach our team by phone at 1-800-262-1598 or email sales@EWCSWire.com.

Without the proper fire electrical equipment set up in a small home or a big building, one small fire that starts anywhere in the building can cause a huge safety issue. According to the National Fire Protection Association, an average of seven people die from fires on a daily basis. The fact that this could be prevented makes the situation that much worse. When any type of building gets ready for people to move into it, whether it’s to work or to live, one of the most important things to check is fire safety.
