Pacer 16/2 AWG Duplex Cable - Red/Black - Sold By The Foot

The Pacer 16/2 AWG Duplex Cable in red and black is the marine electrician's workhorse for reliable low-voltage wiring in both AC and DC boat systems. Whether you're running accessory circuits, adding new instrumentation, or replacing aging twin-conductor runs throughout your vessel, this duplex cable delivers the dependability that thousands of hours on the water demand. Sold by the foot, it lets you purchase exactly what you need without waste—critical for budget-conscious boaters tackling their own electrical upgrades.

Manufactured in-house by Pacer Group in the USA, this 16 AWG duplex cable features finely stranded copper conductors for superior flexibility—a must-have trait when routing through tight cabin spaces, engine compartments, and existing wire chases where rigid conductors simply won't fit. The dual red and black insulation allows intuitive polarity identification, eliminating dangerous cross-wiring mistakes during installation. At 16 AWG, it handles the moderate amperage loads typical of navigation lights, bilge pumps, trim tab motors, and cabin lighting circuits while maintaining voltage stability across longer runs. The duplex configuration keeps both conductors bonded together, simplifying routing and reducing installation time.

Experienced boaters and marine electricians prefer this cable for rewiring projects, panel upgrades, and new accessory installations where quality and ease of use matter. The foot-by-foot purchase model works perfectly for retrofit work, allowing you to buy 10 feet, 50 feet, or 100 feet without committing to full spools. It meets the electrical demands of 12V and 24V DC systems common on recreational and commercial vessels, as well as low-voltage AC applications in larger cruising yachts with generator power. Keep several feet coiled in your spares locker—marine electrical repairs rarely wait for convenient logistics.
