Dearborn™ Marine
The Premier Choice for Marine Applications
F
or tough, seaworthy wire
and cable, Alpha Wire’s
Dearborn brand of products
delivers performance in the most
challenging environments for
electrical components and electronic
systems, with the ever-present
potential for corrosion and other
harmful effects from moisture, salt,
oil, and gases.
Whether you are building new
pleasure or commercial watercraft
or maintaining existing boats, our
marine products will satisfy your
most stringent requirements.
Complete line for every marine
application
From wiring of engines, batteries,
and bilge pumps to cables for
communications, instrumentation,
and electronics, you will find the
exact wire or cable you need.
Cables are color-coded to meet
boating industry standards.
Marine wire
High-grade marine wire for the full
spectrum of marine applications,
including wiring of engines, batteries,
and bilge pumps.
Marine cable
A complete line of multi-
conductor cables, designed
specifically for marine environments.
Ideally suited for multiple
applications, including communi-
cations, instrumentation,
and electronics.
Marine heat-shrink tubing
To protect cable terminations and
provide a watertight connection,
we offer marine grade heat-
shrink tubing with an operating
temperature range of –55°C to
+130°C for protecting electrical
connections, and spiral wrap and
split ducts for managing and
organizing wires and cables.
Marine ready
Our cables meet various
specifications to ensure regulatory
compliance and seaworthiness:
• UL Standard 1426: Electrical
Cable for Boats
• SAE J378: Marine Propulsion
Systems Wiring
• SAE J1127: Low-Voltage
Battery Cables
• SAE J1128: Low-Voltage

Designed to perform
Dearborn marine wire and cable
use corrosion-resistant annealed
tinned copper conductors with
Type 3 marine stranding for extra
flexibility and service life. A choice
of round or flat multiconductor
cables means easier handling
and routing.

jackets, rated to 105°C
• Easy circuit identification with
color-coded conductors
• Shielded cable available for
EMI protection
• UL VW-1 flame retardant
• Convenient, easy to use
packaging in lengths as low as
50 feet
• Resistant to oil, chemicals,
solvents, and sea water
• Premium high-performance
with tinned conductors
