Ancor Standard Duplex Cable - Flat 6/2 AWG - 2 x 13mm² Red/Black - 50'

The Ancor Standard Duplex Cable in 6/2 AWG (2 x 13mm²) red/black is a marine-grade electrical wire engineered for the demanding salt-water environment. This 50-foot duplex cable exceeds UL 1426, ABYC, and US Coast Guard Charter Boat (CFR Title 46) standards, making it the proper choice for permanent boat wiring, battery banks, and high-current distribution on everything from center consoles to offshore cruising vessels.

The 6/2 AWG cross-section carries substantial current—critical for powering through-hull equipment, inverters, and main battery feeds without voltage drop. Premium vinyl insulation is rated 600 volts at 105°C dry and 75°C wet, and remains flexible even at extreme cold (-40°F), a practical advantage when running wire through unheated engine compartments or winter storage. The insulation resists salt spray, diesel fuel, gasoline, battery acid, UV exposure, and mechanical abrasion—degradation modes that kill inferior cables within seasons on the water. The flat duplex configuration simplifies routing along cabin soles and behind panels compared to individual conductors.

Serious anglers installing new battery systems, upgrading charging infrastructure, or running dedicated circuits for fish finders, radars, and galley equipment specify Ancor for reliability. Weekend boaters appreciate the longevity—a single correct wire installation means no repeat project in five years. The 50-foot length covers most backbone runs on vessels under 45 feet or serves as primary distribution with secondary spools for individual circuits.

Ancor marine-grade duplex cable is the standard across the recreational and commercial boating industry. It costs more than automotive or general-purpose wire, but chemical and UV resistance mean it outlasts cheaper alternatives by years—eliminating callbacks, corrosion failures, and the safety risk of undersized or degraded electrical runs at sea.
