The RG59U is used for TV’s & SAT NAV’s. If the RG59U were stranded, the stranding of the wire would fold at the time of insertion. After tinning wire the stranding become very soft. In the application of TV & SAT NAV’s, the wire needs to be very strong.

We recommends crimping vs. soldering. Per ABYC standards (E-11.16.3.7), “Solder shall not be the sole means of mechanical connection in any circuit”. Further, crimping provides a solid mechanical connection resistant to “cold joints”, breaking under fatigue and removes strain when using double crimp nylon connectors.
Premium grade wire has tin plating over every strand, and it offers the ultimate in resistance against the subtle, long-term, internal corrosion that contributes to premature demise of marine wiring.
ANCOR recommends yellow wire as DC negative because black is the standard color for AC hot. There have been many cases of people working on their DC systems who have inadvertently cut the live AC wire. Because of the wide spread use of inverters, power generators and shore power connections, even today’s smallest boats pose a risk of inadvertently cutting into AC wires when working on DC systems.
The Double Crimp Terminal has an extra barrel which, when crimped, will remove all strain from the wire stranding and place the strain on the wire jacket. This prevents terminations from loosening under stress, pull or vibration all of which are common in the marine environment.
The shrink ratio is 3 to 1 and yes the heat shrink is adhesive lined. Check out the full line at marinco.com!
