Will this work to make a set of NATO slave cables?

[Boosted_Nelson_Inc.]

My brother was able to get this cable from work and we wanted to make sure it will work for making a NATO slave cable.

The markings are:
#2/0 AWG 200C RADIX WIRE II SIL-A-BLEND AWM I A/B 200C 1000V FT2

Thanks for any input.

Looks like it. Most stock slave cables are rated to 500a, 2/0 AWG is rated at 200ish just so you know.

If this is the wire I think it is, it will get a bit stiff in cold weather (it is a type of PVC insulatiion). I use something like this (much smaller) for my generator and it is stiff when cold (but not impossible).

The specs are excellent. You can, for short periods of time, exceed the amperage from the book, and that insulation is rated at 200 C (as I read the specs you posted) which is hot!

Good find, especially if it was really cheap or free...
