Ancor Safety Duplex Cable - 18/2 AWG - Red/Yellow - Flat - 250'

The Ancor Safety Duplex Cable – 18/2 AWG in red/yellow with flat profile – is a 250-foot spool of marine-grade dual-conductor wiring engineered to ABYC (American Boat and Yacht Council) color standards. Built with ultra-flexible tinned copper stranding and rated to exceed UL 1426 standards, this cable delivers reliable power and signal distribution across saltwater and freshwater vessel electrical systems where corrosion resistance and abrasion protection are non-negotiable.

The 18/2 AWG gauge suits low-voltage DC circuits typical of marine accessories—navigation lights, bilge pump controls, and auxiliary instrumentation—where wire gauge and insulation quality directly impact system reliability. The white common jacket provides easy identification during installation and troubleshooting while offering superior abrasion resistance in tight engine compartments, through-hull fittings, and along deck runs. Type 3/Class K tinned copper stranding prevents oxidation and electrolytic corrosion, a critical advantage in salt-air environments where standard copper deteriorates rapidly. The flat profile eases routing through narrow cable trays and conduit.

Weekend anglers upgrading fish finders, GPS plotters, or console lighting will appreciate the 250-foot spool length—sufficient for most mid-sized fishing boats without excessive waste. Offshore captains and marine electricians rely on Ancor duplex cable for its predictable performance in high-vibration engine rooms and exposed weather decks. The correct ABYC color coding (red and yellow primary conductors) ensures compliance with marine electrical codes and simplifies future maintenance by any qualified technician.

This cable is sized and rated for low-voltage marine circuits where flexibility and corrosion immunity outweigh the bulk of larger-gauge armored cable. Whether replacing damaged wiring after years of service or building out new electrical runs on a recent hull, this duplex cable meets the durability and safety standards that professional boatbuilders and experienced DIY restorers demand.
