Ancor Standard Duplex Cable - Flat 16/2 AWG - 2 x 1mm² Red/Black - 250'

The Ancor Standard Duplex Cable in flat 16/2 AWG configuration with 2 x 1mm² red/black conductors delivers 250 feet of marine-grade wiring engineered to exceed UL 1426, ABYC, and US Coast Guard Charter boat (CFR Title 46) standards. Built for saltwater environments where ordinary electrical wire fails, this duplex cable combines dual conductors in a single flat profile—ideal for DC power distribution on fishing boats, cruisers, and offshore vessels where space and weight efficiency matter.

The 16 AWG gauge carries sufficient amperage for navigation lights, bilge pump circuits, and accessory power runs without voltage drop over moderate distances. Premium vinyl insulation is rated 600 volts and handles both dry (105°C) and wet (75°C) operating conditions—critical for below-deck runs and transom-mounted equipment exposed to spray and moisture. The wire remains flexible even at extreme cold (-40°F) and resists salt water, battery acid, oil, gasoline, UV exposure, and abrasion from vibration and chafe. The red and black color-coding follows standard marine DC polarity convention, streamlining installation and troubleshooting.

This 250-foot spool suits weekend anglers running new circuits to a trolling motor, fish finder, or LED spreader lights, as well as serious offshore operators completing a full electrical system upgrade. The flat duplex geometry fits neatly along cabin corners, under headliners, and through tight bulkhead passes where round two-conductor cables snag or consume precious real estate. For any DC power application in salt air—whether freshwater systems exposed to seasonal moisture or blue-water environments—Ancor's construction ensures decades of reliable service without the corrosion failures that plague standard automotive or household wire.
