12/3 Gauge Marine Wire

Perfect and just what I needed

It's good

Good quality wire

Perfect for my project

It's cheaper than the familiar brands of marine 12/3, which is a good thing these days... Although when the ad mentioned speaker wire as another application I raised an eyebrow and almost clicked away. It's good to realize that the insulation is much thinner than the familiar thick walled material in the marine electrical supply marketplace. The photo shows the risk -- my first strip was a failure, as you can't just score casually around it with a knife and bend it back and forth a few times. It takes caution to avoid nicking the inside wires. I'm using it in my mobile lab and it's fine, saving me about half the cost of the brand name stuff... it just has to be handled with a little more finesse then you might be used to. Take very tiny cuts and try to propagate the fracture line around the outer jacket without having to cut any deeper than necessary. Given that it follows the profile of the wire, you can't really make a straight jacket cut all the way across without risking the thin insulation of the outer wires. Photo is not how to do it! That's my own mistake, not the fault of the wire, but it does show the insulation thickness very clearly.

Expensive but it seems all wire is. I like the flexibility of this. High quality wire. Using it in an RV hopefully last a long time.
