Pacer 16/2 AWG Duplex Cable - Red/Black - 100'

The Pacer 16/2 AWG Duplex Cable in red and black is purpose-built for marine electrical systems requiring low-voltage AC and DC circuit reliability. Manufactured in-house by Pacer Group in the USA, this 100-foot duplex boat cable delivers the corrosion resistance and flexibility demanded by saltwater environments. Each conductor is finely stranded Type III tinned copper—a specification that matters because stranding reduces fatigue cracking under vibration and flexing, while tinning actively inhibits oxidation in moisture-rich conditions where standard copper would degrade.

The 16 AWG gauge handles moderate amperage loads typical of navigation lighting, bilge pumps, and accessory circuits on mid-sized vessels. The flexible PVC jacket protects both conductors while remaining pliable in cold conditions—critical for deck work in northern waters where brittle insulation becomes a liability. The two-conductor (duplex) configuration eliminates the need for a separate return wire in simple circuits, reducing installation complexity aboard confined engine compartments and crowded wiring runs. Red and black conductors provide standard polarity identification, simplifying circuit tracing and troubleshooting during maintenance.

This cable serves weekend fishermen wiring navigation lights and operators upgrading charging systems on sailboats and center consoles, as well as serious offshore anglers who depend on reliable electrical architecture for long-range electronics. The 100-foot spool length accommodates full-length runs on boats up to 40 feet or multiple circuit installations on smaller craft. Compliance with marine electrical standards and domestic USA manufacturing provide assurance that this cable meets the safety and performance expectations of certified marine technicians and DIY boat owners alike.
