Ancor Standard Duplex Cable - Flat 16/2 AWG - 2 x 1mm² Red/Black - 100'

The Ancor Standard Duplex Cable in 16/2 AWG with 2 x 1mm² red and black conductors is the workhorse electrical cable every serious boater needs on board. Whether you're running new circuits for navigation lights, fishfinders, or auxiliary systems, this 100-foot spool delivers the marine-grade reliability that separates a weekend warrior from someone who actually depends on their vessel. Built to exceed UL 1426, ABYC, and US Coast Guard Charter boat standards, this cable handles the corrosive salt air and constant vibration that destroys inferior wiring.

What sets Ancor Standard Duplex Cable apart is its construction: premium vinyl insulation rated for the harsh marine environment, with both conductors housed in a flat duplex configuration that routes cleanly through tight spaces and behind panels without bunching or kinking. The red and black pairing follows standard marine electrical conventions—red for positive, black for negative or ground—eliminating guesswork during installation. At 16 AWG, this cable handles loads up to 25 amps safely, making it ideal for mid-range systems like cabin lighting, bilge pumps, and accessory circuits where heavier 12 AWG isn't necessary but undersized wire isn't acceptable.

Recreational anglers and cruisers benefit most from the 100-foot length—enough to run multiple circuits without excess waste, yet compact enough to store properly. Installation is straightforward with standard marine-grade terminals and connectors; the flat profile allows it to fit in places where round bundled cable won't. Whether you're upgrading an aging livewell system, adding redundant electrical paths, or wiring a new transducer array, this cable meets every code requirement and delivers years of maintenance-free operation in saltwater or freshwater service. Always verify local marine electrical codes before installation.
