Description
2 AWG Ultra-Flexible Tinned Copper Battery Cable – 600V Silicone Wire
The 2 AWG Ultra-Flexible Tinned Copper Battery Cable provides a flexible conductor solution for solar energy systems, battery banks, off-grid inverters, and other DC electrical applications. Built with thousands of fine tinned copper strands, this cable combines electrical conductivity with the flexibility needed for installations where heavy-gauge wire must bend around equipment and connection points.
Manufactured to UL AWM Style 3512 specifications, this 2 AWG silicone wire features a 600V voltage rating and a maximum rated temperature of 200°C (392°F). Its silicone rubber insulation offers flexibility and heat resistance, making the cable suitable for properly designed electrical installations requiring these characteristics.
Ultra-Flexible Tinned Copper Construction
Unlike conventional coarse-stranded conductors, this cable uses approximately 6,700 individual tinned copper strands, each measuring approximately 0.08 mm in diameter. This fine-stranded construction allows the cable to bend more easily than many traditional heavy-gauge conductors.
The tinned copper strands also provide a protective surface that helps resist copper oxidation. This construction makes the cable a practical option for electrical connections where conductor flexibility and long-term material performance are important.
With a specified conductor resistance of no more than 0.91 ohms per kilometer at 20°C, the cable provides a documented electrical characteristic for evaluating conductor losses in appropriately sized circuits.
High-Temperature Silicone Insulation
The 2 AWG silicone battery cable uses RoHS-compliant silicone insulation designed to remain flexible while providing electrical protection. The insulation has an average thickness of 1.52 mm and a minimum specified thickness of 1.3 mm.
The finished cable has an outside diameter of approximately 12.5 mm, with a manufacturing tolerance of ±0.5 mm. This compact, flexible construction helps installers route the cable through battery enclosures, inverter compartments, and other equipment spaces where bending clearance may be limited.
The 200°C temperature rating provides additional thermal capability compared with many lower-temperature insulation types. However, actual installation limits must account for terminal ratings, applicable electrical codes, and the surrounding operating environment.
Designed for Solar Battery and Inverter Applications
This ultra-flexible 2 AWG cable can be considered for a variety of electrical applications, provided the complete installation meets the equipment manufacturer’s requirements and applicable codes.
- Solar battery bank interconnections
- Off-grid inverter DC connections
- Lithium battery energy storage systems
- DC power distribution assemblies
- Custom battery cables and equipment wiring
- Other compatible low-voltage and high-current electrical applications
The manufacturer specifies a recommended DC current of 200A at 20°C. This value is a manufacturer recommendation rather than a universal installation ampacity. Actual allowable current depends on the installation method, conductor termination, ambient temperature, circuit protection, and applicable electrical standards.
Available in Red and Black
The cable is available with red or black silicone insulation, allowing installers to distinguish positive and negative DC conductors when using the appropriate wiring conventions.
Both colors share the same specified conductor construction, insulation material, voltage rating, and temperature rating. This makes them suitable for creating matching cable assemblies when the electrical design calls for these characteristics.
