Marine Battery Cable

Product Details

(Click to enlarge image) UL 1284 / UL 1283 are a marine cable used in pleasure crafts, trailers and other vehicles.

Marine battery cable is a type of electrical cable specifically designed for use in boats and other marine vessels. The main function of marine battery cable is to carry electrical current between the battery and other electrical components in a marine electrical system.

The marine environment is harsh and demanding, with exposure to salt water, high humidity, and extreme temperatures. Marine battery cable must be able to withstand these conditions and provide reliable performance. It must also be able to resist corrosion and remain flexible, even in cold temperatures.

To meet these demands, marine battery cable is typically made with special materials and construction techniques. For example, it may be made with tinned copper conductors, which are more resistant to corrosion than standard copper conductors. The insulation and jacket of marine battery cable may also be made from materials specifically chosen for their resistance to salt water and other environmental factors.
