Pacer 16/2 AWG Safety Duplex Cable - Red/Yellow - 250'

The Pacer 16/2 AWG Safety Duplex Cable in red/yellow is a 250-foot marine-grade electrical cable engineered for low-voltage AC and DC applications on boats and watercraft. Built with tinned copper conductors manufactured in-house by Pacer Group, this duplex boat cable delivers the corrosion resistance and flexibility required in saltwater and freshwater marine environments. The 16 AWG gauge provides adequate current capacity for lighting circuits, bilge pumps, navigation systems, and other standard boat electrical loads while maintaining manageable weight and installation ease.

The cable features finely stranded Type III tinned copper conductors that resist corrosion from moisture and salt exposure while allowing superior flexibility compared to solid-core alternatives. This stranding pattern is essential for routing through tight spaces in bilge areas, behind panels, and along cabin bulkheads without kinking or cracking the jacket. The PVC outer jacket maintains flexibility across temperature fluctuations typical in marine service, preventing brittleness in cold weather or hardening in direct sunlight. The dual-conductor configuration simplifies installations where both positive and negative runs must travel together, reducing installation time and clutter in confined boat spaces.

This cable serves weekend anglers running basic boat systems as well as serious offshore operators maintaining complex electrical networks. The 250-foot spool length accommodates larger vessels or installations requiring runs from battery banks through multiple compartments without splicing. Whether wiring a new center console, upgrading cabin lighting, or replacing degraded existing cable, the red and yellow color coding simplifies circuit identification during troubleshooting and future maintenance. Pacer's domestic manufacturing ensures consistent quality control and availability, making this duplex boat cable a practical choice for DIY boat builders and professional marine electricians.
