Ancor Ribbon Bonded Cable - 16/2 AWG - Red/Black - Flat - 500'

The Ancor Ribbon Bonded Cable in 16/2 AWG with red and black conductors is purpose-built for marine electrical systems where reliable power distribution matters. Available in a flat ribbon configuration, this 500-foot spool serves commercial and recreational boaters, marine electricians, and serious anglers who demand dependable wiring for electronics, navigation systems, and auxiliary lighting. The compact 11 x 6 x 11-inch spool weighs just 12.8 lbs, making it portable enough for onboard repairs or complete rewiring projects without excessive weight penalty.

Constructed from premium tinned bonded copper, this marine-grade cable resists corrosion that saltwater and spray environments accelerate. The tinned copper jacket prevents oxidation far longer than bare copper, critical when managing the moisture and salt exposure inherent to fishing boats and offshore vessels. The flat ribbon design reduces bulk in tight spaces—a decisive advantage when routing power through cabin walls, under gunwales, or alongside existing harnesses without adding unnecessary volume or weight to your vessel's electrical infrastructure.

Boaters upgrading fish finders, VHF radios, autopilot systems, or LED strip lighting will find this 16/2 cable suitable for moderate-amperage circuits where dual conductors simplify return paths and minimize voltage drop over extended runs. The 500-foot length accommodates larger vessels or multiple installations without mid-run splicing. Always verify local marine electrical codes and circuit requirements before installation; proper gauge selection ensures safe operation and protects expensive onboard electronics from supply-side faults.
