Pacer 16/3 AWG Triplex Cable - Black/Green/White - 250'

The Pacer 16/3 AWG Triplex Cable in Black/Green/White is a 250-foot marine-grade electrical conductor engineered for AC power distribution in boats and recreational vehicles. Built by Pacer Group and manufactured in the USA, this triplex cable combines finely stranded tinned copper conductors with a flexible jacket designed to withstand the corrosive marine environment where standard electrical cable fails. The tinned copper construction resists salt-air oxidation and saltwater exposure, critical for vessels operating in coastal or offshore conditions where corrosion undermines reliability.

The 16 AWG gauge rating handles moderate current loads typical of AC circuit runs—cabin lighting, small appliances, and auxiliary systems—while the three-conductor triplex configuration carries two live conductors plus ground in a single compact cable jacket. This reduces installation complexity compared to running separate single-conductor cables and minimizes deck clutter. The stranded construction (versus solid core) flexes without cracking, essential for the constant vibration and motion inherent to vessel operation. A 250-foot spool provides sufficient length for most boat installations without excessive splicing, which introduces failure points in the electrical chain.

This cable serves weekend fishermen running modest cabin systems and serious offshore operators managing multiple AC circuits during extended trips. Freshwater and saltwater anglers alike rely on 16 AWG triplex for reliability where replacement or repair is impossible until reaching port. The 250-foot length accommodates vessels from 30 to 60 feet, allowing single-spool installations without stock-outs. Recreational vehicle users operating similar 120-volt systems also benefit from marine-grade construction rated for outdoor humidity and temperature extremes.

Marine electrical code and manufacturer guidelines specify tinned-copper triplex cable for all AC distribution aboard vessels. This product meets those requirements while delivering the durability needed in demanding saltwater applications where standard residential cable deteriorates rapidly.
