Wire Flexibility Explained
Wire exibility is inuenced by two major factors: wire strand size
and jacket hardness.
Wire strand size has the largest impact on overall wire exibility. As individual wire strand size decreases, wire exibility increases.
For boat cable, UL 1426 requires at least 19 individual strands for cables 16 AWG and larger. Ancor wire uses type 3 stranding which consists of individual 30 AWG (0.010") strands, regardless of the wire gauge. Ancor’s 16 AWG wire consists of 26 individual strands, while the 4/0 AWG wire consists of 2,109 individual strands.
Jacket hardness is most commonly measured by durometer,
with lower measurements reecting a more exible material.
Ancor wire measures 7 points lower than competitive product
(on a scale of 1-100), resulting in a more exible product.
