Ancor Standard Duplex Cable - Flat 18/2 AWG - 2 x 0.8mm² Red/Black - 500'

The Ancor Standard Duplex Cable in 18/2 AWG with 500 feet of red and black conductors is the backbone of reliable marine electrical systems for serious boaters and anglers. Built to exceed UL 1426, ABYC, and US Coast Guard Charter boat standards, this flat-profile duplex cable delivers the dependability you need when you're hours from the nearest marina. Whether you're wiring a center console, cabin cruiser, or fishing boat's battery bank, navigation lights, or accessory circuits, this marine-grade cable handles the salt spray, vibration, and moisture that freshwater and saltwater vessels encounter daily.

Constructed with premium vinyl insulation rated for the harsh marine environment, the Ancor Standard Duplex Cable features two 0.8mm² conductors (18 AWG) in a flat configuration that simplifies routing through tight spaces and reduces clutter in engine compartments and console cabinets. The red and black pairing follows standard marine wiring convention, allowing correct polarity identification at a glance—critical when running multiple circuits in compact boat installations. The flat design resists chafing better than round cable in confined areas, and the robust insulation maintains flexibility in cold water conditions while resisting UV degradation on exposed deck runs. At 500 feet, a single spool eliminates mid-project shortages and provides ample length for complete system overhauls without splice joints.

Anglers upgrading fish finders, LED deck lights, or auxiliary battery chargers will appreciate the professional-grade reliability that prevents electrical gremlins on the water. Boat builders, repair shops, and DIY enthusiasts restoring vintage fishing vessels or modernizing electrical systems find the extended spool length eliminates costly waste and simplifies inventory. This cable is ideal for low-voltage circuits, 12V/24V DC systems common to recreational and commercial fishing vessels, and backup power distribution. Installation with marine-grade connectors and properly sized breakers ensures years of trouble-free operation in saltwater and freshwater environments alike.
