Ancor Red/Black 18/2 AWG Flat Duplex Cable 500-Foot

The Ancor Red/Black 18/2 AWG Flat Duplex Cable is a 500-foot spool of tinned copper with Type 3 ultra-flexible stranding.

Eighteen gauge is the lightest duplex Ancor makes, for very small loads: indicator lights, sensors, control signals and low-draw electronics. It is easy to over-apply. Anything drawing more than an amp or two over any distance will drop voltage on 18 gauge, and the symptom is equipment working intermittently rather than not at all.

Five hundred feet is a large quantity of a wire used in short lengths, which suits an instrument or control rewire where the runs are many. Signal and control circuits multiply on a boat faster than power circuits do.

Red and black gives clear polarity identification, and the flat profile routes neatly behind panels and under trim. Ultra-flexible Type 3 tinned copper stranding resists corrosion, electrolysis, vibration and repeated flexing, with insulation staying flexible in extreme cold.
