Marine Electrical Cable from EWCS

Marine electronics failure is one of the absolute worst case scenarios for any boat owner. Using the proper American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC) compliant marine grade wire and processes are the best way to avoid electrical failures. At Electric Wire &Cable Specialists (EWCS) we specialize in the production of high quality marine electrical cable.


Marine wire takes a beating from constant vibration and corrosive elements. When you choose a marine wire supplier, it’s crucial to find wires composed of fine stranding for maximum flexibility and quality tinned copper to resist corrosion. EWCS has been providing our quality wire to retailers and contractors since 1994. All of our wire is made in the USA from the highest quality copper to achieve maximum conductivity and ductility.

The flexibility of high-quality wire is one of the main avenues of defense against marine electrical failure. Unlike the wire in our homes, which gets to remain stationary, boat wiring is constantly rattled and strained by the vibrations of the motor and the lapping of the water.

Marine cables must feature conductors made from the highest quality copper to achieve finer strands with a higher tensile strength than home wire. The increase in strand count helps ensure that the wire is extremely strong and flexible enough to stand up to the marine environment. All of our marine electrical cables have been tested and approved by UL nationally recognized testing laboratories.

The majority of marine wire will be used for DC components. The innocence of wiring a 12-volt component is what often leads to disaster when boat owners turn to wire created for non-marine applications.

At EWCS we carry our single conductor marine electrical cable in the following AWG sizes: 16, 14, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, 1/0, 2/0, & 4/0.

For larger boats, AC systems are often required to give boat owners access to the consumer electronics they are used to. For these systems, EWCS offers several sizes of jacketed marine grade wire. Our 2 conductor wire comes in 16, 14, and 12 AWG sizes. We also offer 3 conductor wire in 12 and 10 AWG sizes.

All of our multi-conductor wire comes jacketed with premium vinyl to provide protection from oil, gasoline, salt water, and acids. These cables have the same flexible tinned copper wire to ensure they can stand up the the abuse of constant movement.

Improper marine wiring dangerous and the wrong cables can spell disaster for boat owners. To make sure your products and services don’t put you or your customers in danger, it’s important not to cut any corners on quality. When you choose to do business with EWCS, you know that you’re using wire made and tested in America from a quality manufacturer.

When choosing wire for marine applications, EWCS is happy to lend you our years of experience. Our customer service team can help you find the perfect wire and lengths for any project, marine or otherwise. With our factory-direct pricing, we can help you cut out the middleman to receive the marine electrical cable you need at an amazing price.

The Importance of Fire Alarm Cables

There are few things more important than fire safety. 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. Fires spread like no other, so ensuring that the building has the proper fire safety tools to help prevent fires from starting and spreading with no warning to the other occupants in the building is a major factor in the overall safety of the building. Besides actually having a smoke or fire detector in place, one of the most important things all fire alarms need to have to ensure the safety of the building’s occu...

Common Questions About Security and Alarm Cables, Answered

Not sure which type of security or alarm cable your facility or system needs? Hopefully, these answers to common questions can help! What cable is used for alarm systems? Security and alarm systems are usually wired with small-gauge wire specifically designed for the purpose. For instance, many security systems are wired with 12 and 18 AWG gauge alarm wire, as these low-voltage applications do not necessarily require larger, heavier wires. However, larger or wire gauges may be required depending on the circumstances. Also, there are some unique requirements for some systems. For instance, fire alarm cables must be made with specific insulation that is heat resistant and which does not produce toxic smoke when burned. What gauge cable do you need for alarm systems? Only your specific system requirements can answer that question, but often large wire gauges (that is, smaller wires) are used as security and alarm cables because of the low-voltage, low-current application. What is ...
