Power to Rear Cargo Area

[JKOperator]

Does anyone have any knowledge or experience with this cable. I have about 50' of it sitting in my garage. I am wondering if this cable would be sufficient or overkill to run power to the rear cargo area. (Same set up as OP)

What I found online is, it's a shipboard cable rated for 600 volts. I'm assuming (1979) is manufacture date. I also heard it is equivalent to 2g cable.

Thanks

Is it copper? What is it's diameter? (#2 AWG conductor would be a bit over 1/4" diameter, maybe 5/16" if stranded).

Yes, it's copper.

Looks like it might be around #4 AWG. May as well try using it since you have it. If you're running an inverter and it's not quite delivering enough juice (inverter kicks off near full load), you can always double it up. Definitely not overkill unless all you have back there is a fridge and a couple cig-lighter sockets (in which case #10 would be fine)

Thanks! I'll give it a shot.
