Marine Wire & Cable
Marine electrical systems demand wiring that can withstand moisture, vibration, heat, and long‑term exposure to saltwater. CLR Marine offers a complete selection of marine‑grade wire and cable, engineered with tinned copper conductors, oil‑resistant jackets, and ABYC‑compliant insulation to ensure maximum durability and safety on the water.
Our collection includes primary wire, duplex cable, triplex cable, battery cable, and specialty marine wiring designed for both DC and AC systems. Tinned copper construction prevents corrosion, improves conductivity, and extends the life of your electrical system—making it the industry standard for boats, RVs, and off‑grid installations.
Whether you're rewiring navigation lights, installing a new battery bank, upgrading electronics, or building a complete electrical system, CLR Marine provides the high‑quality wire needed for reliable performance in harsh marine environments.

FAQs
Q1: Why is tinned copper wire required for marine use?
Tinned copper resists corrosion far better than bare copper, ensuring long‑lasting electrical performance in saltwater and high‑moisture environments.
Q2: What’s the difference between duplex and triplex marine cable?
Duplex cable has two conductors for DC circuits, while triplex cable has three conductors and is typically used for AC shore power and distribution systems.
Q3: Can marine wire be used in RVs or off‑grid systems?
Absolutely. Marine wire is often superior due to its corrosion resistance, flexibility, and high‑temperature insulation, making it ideal for RVs, vans, and off‑grid power setups.
