Benefits over Welding Cable:
- Full AWG Size OFC Copper Conductor
- UL Listed - Quality Strictly Controlled
- Superior Oil Resistance of PVC where EPDM on many welding cables is a poor insulator against oil
- SAE Rated for Automotive and Marine Uses
- UL Listed as water resistant
- Meets NEC Code requirements
Benefits over CCA Power Wire:
Our cable is Copper...REAL COPPER but watch out for other "CCA Cable" as CCA Means Copper Clad Aluminum so you'd be using Aluminum which is a poor conductor compared to this pure copper cable! You have to use larger sizes of aluminum CCA cable, approximately 2 sizes larger to get close to the same power delivery as real copper cable! If you care about maximum power use our cable!
