Ancor was founded over twenty years ago to solve electrical problems experienced by mariners as they ventured offshore in large numbers. General purpose wire and components designed for on-shore applications caused significant problems as electrical systems became more sophisticated and demanding. When it comes to marine electrical wiring, connectors also have to be able to stand up to the corrosive ocean environment. Ancor Marine Grade® Products quickly became the system of choice as the first major supplier of UL listed products designed for the harsh marine environment. Today, Ancor provides a wide variety of the world's toughest electrical products such as wire, cable, terminals, tools, testers, fuses, fuse holders, magnetic circuit breakers, DC distribution blocks, rocker and toggle switches. Often imitated, never duplicated, Ancor continues to lead the industry by providing the most water resistant, flame retardant wiring products available.
