Pacer 16/2 AWG Duplex Cable - Red/Black - 250'

The Pacer 16/2 AWG Duplex Cable in red and black is purpose-built for marine electrical systems where reliable low-voltage wiring is non-negotiable. After years running boats on everything from inland lakes to coastal waters, I've learned that cutting corners on marine cable leads to corroded connections, intermittent failures, and dangerous situations when you're far from the dock. This 250-foot spool of duplex boat cable is engineered specifically for the wet, corrosive environment that standard electrical wire simply cannot withstand. Whether you're wiring a new console, replacing aging harnesses, or troubleshooting an electrical gremlins, quality duplex cable is the foundation of a reliable electrical system.

Pacer manufactures this 16 AWG duplex cable in-house in the USA using finely stranded, Type I copper conductors—the standard that marine electricians and boat builders trust. The duplex configuration means two separate insulated conductors are bundled together, ideal for both AC and DC low-voltage circuits found throughout modern vessels. The red and black color coding simplifies positive and negative identification, reducing installation errors and making future troubleshooting faster. The robust insulation resists saltwater spray, UV exposure, and temperature extremes better than commodity cable, and the 250-foot length provides ample footage for substantial rewiring projects without requiring mid-run splices that compromise integrity.

Boaters upgrading lighting circuits, installing new fishfinders, or rebuilding battery distribution systems will appreciate having a full spool on hand—eliminating repeated trips to the marine supply house and ensuring consistent wire quality throughout the installation. The 12.75-pound spool is manageable for one person to handle and store in a boat locker or shop cabinet. This duplex cable is compatible with standard marine breakers, switches, and connectors rated for 16 AWG conductors, and the stranded copper core makes it significantly easier to work with than solid wire in tight spaces or when crimping terminals. For anyone serious about marine electrical reliability, Pacer's domestically manufactured duplex cable is the standard-issue choice.
