I am trying to find a type and manufacturer, or distributor, of marine grade submersible power cable. Specifically to extend line voltage pier lighting to stand-alone pilings on 20A circuits. I have heard SOOWA and even UF.... I would just like to be sure.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The cable needs to have a "W" in the rating, and it should have "Wet" rating on the jacket as well as "Sunlight" rating if it will have direct sunlight.

Anixter wire I believe, not sure of spelling but that is who we use to buy from in early 90's when I was working deep tunnel.
 
Type W cable is what we are specifing and installing on all of the marinas in the last year or so.

Have you done a voltage drop calculation for your loads to make sure you specify the correct size cable. dim lighting is not what the owner is looking for.

Good luck

Thanks for the help. I wasn't absolutely sure if the 'W' was enough for marine grade (salt water). I do appreciate the responses.

Wet and submerged are two different things. I believe you need "W-A".
