Ancor Red/Yellow 14/2 AWG Flat Safety Duplex Cable 250-Foot

The Ancor Red/Yellow 14/2 AWG Flat Safety Duplex Cable is a 250-foot spool in a white common jacket, with Type 3 Class K stranding.

Two hundred and fifty feet of 14 gauge duplex covers adding a set of light circuits rather than rewiring a boat. The 500-foot spool is the full-rewire quantity. This size suits refitting a cabin, adding lighting to a cockpit, or replacing runs that have aged out.

Fourteen gauge is fine for lighting and small pumps but marginal once a run goes forward and back on anything larger. Voltage drop is what catches people at this gauge, and stepping up to 12 costs little compared with rewiring a circuit that turns out dim.

Red and yellow follows ABYC safety coding, with the white common jacket identifying it without stripping. Type 3 Class K ultra-flexible tinned copper stranding resists corrosion, electrolysis, vibration and flexing, with the flat profile keeping the cable close to panels and bulkheads.
