Single stranded tinned-copper conductor with PVC insulation, built for DC circuits like lights, gauges, and small pumps. The tinning fights the corrosion that kills bare copper on the water, and the orange jacket keeps your circuits easy to tell apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is Sea-Dog's 14 AWG stranded primary wire, orange, on a 100-foot spool. Single conductor, tinned copper, PVC insulation. It's the wire you reach for when you're running a DC circuit and want a color you won't confuse with anything else on the boat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFourteen gauge is the workhorse size for a lot of onboard runs. Cabin and courtesy lights, gauges, small pumps, accessory feeds, most electronics that don't pull big current. If you're wiring courtesy lights or a small livewell pump on a short run, 14 AWG handles it fine. For longer runs or heavier loads you'd step up to 12 or 10 gauge, and we stock those on the same kind of spool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reason it's tinned matters more than folks think. Bare copper corrodes on a boat. Salt air, bilge moisture, spray, it all gets in eventually and turns the strands green and brittle. Every strand here is tinned, so it shrugs off corrosion and stays flexible for years. That's the difference between real marine wire and the automotive stuff from the parts store.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStranded, not solid, so it takes vibration and flexing without work-hardening and cracking. Boats move constantly. Solid wire fatigues and breaks at the terminals over time. Stranded wire just flexes with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrange gives you a clean way to keep a circuit visually distinct. Pick it for one system and you'll always know what you're looking at when you open a panel two years from now. Color-coding your runs saves you real time when it's time to troubleshoot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 100-foot spool is enough for a full accessory circuit or several shorter runs with plenty left over. Strip it, crimp a ring or spade terminal, and seal the connection with adhesive-lined heat-shrink to keep water out. That's the step most people skip, and it's the one that fails first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne thing to keep straight: this is single-conductor primary wire for DC work. It isn't duplex or triplex, and it isn't for AC shore-power runs. If you need paired conductors for a two-wire run, look at our duplex and triplex spools instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e14 AWG stranded conductor, sized for cabin lights, gauges, small pumps, and accessory DC circuits\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTinned copper strands resist the salt-air and bilge corrosion that eats bare copper\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOrange PVC insulation for easy circuit identification and clean color-coding\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStranded construction flexes with boat vibration instead of cracking like solid wire\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e100-foot spool covers a full circuit or several shorter runs with room to spare\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle-conductor primary wire for 12V DC systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized Sea-Dog reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eWhat is this wire used for?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt's 14 AWG single-conductor primary wire for DC circuits, things like cabin and courtesy lights, gauges, small pumps, and accessory feeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eIs the copper tinned?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eYes.
