Ancor Standard Duplex Cable - Flat 16/2 AWG - 2 x 1mm² Red/Black - 1,000'

The Ancor Standard Duplex Cable in flat 16/2 AWG (2 × 1mm²) red/black configuration delivers 1,000 feet of marine-grade wiring built to exceed UL 1426, ABYC, and US Coast Guard Charter Boat (CFR Title 46) standards. This is the workhorse cable for vessel electrical systems where durability and code compliance are non-negotiable, whether you're wiring a center console, sportfish cruiser, or commercial fishing vessel.

The flat duplex geometry allows compact runs through tight cable trays and along hull structure without sacrificing conductor protection. Premium vinyl insulation is rated 600 volts and maintains flexibility in extreme cold (-40°F/C), resisting salt water corrosion, battery acid, oil, gasoline, and UV exposure—critical in salt-air environments where standard shore-power cable fails within seasons. The 16 AWG wire gauge handles auxiliary circuits, bilge pump control, nav light distribution, and instrument grounds where current demand doesn't exceed 15 amps at typical 12V DC marine operating voltages.

This spool size serves refit and new-build projects, backup systems, and fleet maintenance across commercial and recreational boating. Weekend anglers upgrading older electrical systems and offshore operators performing scheduled preventive rewiring both rely on Ancor's proven track record. The 1,000-foot length minimizes splices—a critical advantage in marine wiring where corrosion at connectors creates cascading electrical faults.

Marine duplex cable availability varies significantly in quality. Ancor's marine-specific formulation and compliance certifications eliminate guesswork during system design review or Coast Guard inspection preparation. This is specification-grade wiring, not automotive cable repurposed for water environments.
