Ancor White Triplex Cable - 16/3 AWG - Round - 100'

The Ancor White Triplex Cable – 16/3 AWG in round profile is a 100-foot marine-grade electrical conductor designed for vessel wiring systems where reliability and code compliance are non-negotiable. Built to ABYC (American Boat and Yacht Council) standards, this cable serves as the backbone for running auxiliary systems—navigation lights, bilge pumps, switch panels, and other boat electronics that demand consistent power delivery in harsh saltwater environments.

Each conductor within the Ancor White Triplex Cable is color-coded with white, green, and black marine-grade primary strands housed in a white common jacket engineered for straightforward installation and removal during maintenance or troubleshooting. The 16 AWG gauge provides the correct current-carrying capacity for mid-range loads without unnecessary bulk, while the triplex configuration (three conductors bundled together) simplifies routing through tight cabin spaces and reduces the footprint behind panels. Marine-grade insulation resists UV degradation, ozone cracking, and moisture intrusion—critical factors for cables exposed to sun, spray, and humidity on open water or in bilge compartments.

Experienced boaters and marine electricians choose this cable for panel upgrades, thruster installations, and auxiliary power runs where ABYC compliance is required—particularly on sailboats and cruising power vessels. The 100-foot length accommodates most single-run or multi-segment installations on vessels up to 50 feet, eliminating the need for mid-run splices on shorter runs. Installation is straightforward using standard marine crimps and heat-shrink terminals; always verify circuit breaker sizing and fuse ratings against the wire gauge to ensure system protection and safe operation in all water conditions.
