This 10 AWG, 3-conductor Type P Marine Shipboard Power Cable is an elite, unarmored solution for high-demand offshore and maritime power distribution. Engineered to exceed IEEE 1580 and UL 1309 specifications, this cable is built to survive the extreme mechanical and chemical stresses of oil rigs, platforms, and commercial vessels. With its high-temperature rating and mud-resistant jacket, it delivers reliable 600V to 1kV power in the world’s most punishing environments.

Key Features of 10-3C Type P Cable

  • Extreme Chemical Resistance: The Type P (XLPO) insulation is specifically designed to resist degradation from exposure to salt spray, detergents, and caustic petroleum-based drilling muds.

  • Superior Thermal Range: Rated for an impressive 110°C operating temperature, allowing for higher current density and safer performance in hot engine rooms or near industrial machinery.

  • Flexible Tinned Copper: The 10 AWG conductors are finely stranded and tinned to prevent corrosion and provide the flexibility needed for the tight bends of shipboard tray systems.

  • Safety & Flame Retardancy: Fully compliant with IEEE 1202/FT4 flame tests. The low-smoke, halogen-free (LSZH) construction minimizes the release of toxic gases and smoke during a fire, protecting personnel and equipment.

Ampacity Ratings

The following amp ratings are based on a single cable in free air at the specified conductor temperatures:

  • 110°C: 44 Amps

  • 100°C: 41 Amps

  • 95°C: 36 Amps

Common Applications

  • Offshore Oil & Gas: Providing critical power to mud pumps, top drives, and life-safety systems on drilling platforms.

  • Marine Vessels: Reliable power distribution for propulsion systems, heavy-duty deck winches, and auxiliary power grids.

  • FPSO & Tankers: Ideal for use on Floating Production Storage and Offloading vessels where environmental exposure is constant.

  • Harsh Industrial Sites: Frequently utilized in land-based mining and chemical plants as a more durable alternative to standard tray cables.

Conductor Identification: Marine Standard

  • Conductor 1: Black

  • Conductor 2: White

  • Conductor 3: Red (Note: Identification may vary by manufacturer; numbering or alternative color sequences are common depending on the specific standard used.)

Technical Specifications

  • Conductor Size: 10 AWG

  • Number of Conductors: 3

  • Conductor Material: Soft Annealed Tinned Copper (Stranded)

  • Insulation: Type P (Cross-linked Polyolefin / XLPO)

  • Jacket: CPE (Chlorinated Polyethylene), Sun-Resistant & Mud-Resistant (Black)

  • Voltage Rating: 600V / 1000V (1kV)

  • Temperature Rating: 110°C (Operating), 150°C (Short Circuit)

  • Compliance: IEEE 1580 (Type P), UL 1309, CSA C22.2 No. 245, IEEE 1202 (Flame), ABS/DNV Approved


Technical Note: This unarmored cable features a high-density CPE jacket designed for abrasion resistance. However, for installations where the cable is subject to severe crushing or impact, an armored and sheathed (braided) version may be required. Ensure that all entry points use marine-grade glands to maintain a watertight seal.

While it doesn't have a metal cage (armor), the Type P jacket is incredibly tough. It is made of a dense, cross-linked material that acts like a rugged skin. It is designed to be walked on and dragged across steel decks without the insulation inside failing. However, in areas where heavy tools might be dropped on the cable, it is usually tucked into a protective tray.

No cable is totally fireproof, but this one is Flame Retardant. If it gets caught in a fire, it is designed to "self-extinguish" once the flame source is removed. It also produces very little smoke, which is critical on a ship or rig where smoke inhalation is a major danger to the crew during an evacuation.

You can bend it, but you should follow the "Minimum Bend Radius" rule. Because 10 AWG conductors are thick and the Type P jacket is dense, you shouldn't bend it tighter than about 6 to 8 times its own diameter. If you "kink" the cable too sharply, you can stress the internal copper or cause the insulation to thin out over time, which might lead to a failure years down the road.

Yes. When this cable passes through a bulkhead (a ship's wall) or enters a junction box, you must use Marine Terminal Glands. Since this is the Unarmored version, you don't need the complex grounding glands used for armored cables, but you do need "Liquid-Tight" glands that squeeze the outer jacket to keep water and oil from leaking into your electrical equipment.

In the cramped, unventilated spaces of an offshore rig or a ship's engine room, temperatures can skyrocket. A 110°C (230°F) rating means the cable can handle more "internal heat" caused by heavy electricity flow while sitting in an already hot room. This extra 20-degree cushion prevents the cable from "cooking" itself from the inside out during 24/7 operation.
