Ancor Red/Yellow 16/2 AWG Flat Safety Duplex Cable 250-Foot

The Ancor Red/Yellow 16/2 AWG Flat Safety Duplex Cable is a 250-foot spool in a white common jacket, with Type 3 Class K stranding.

Following the safety convention on light circuits matters as much as on heavy ones, even though the current is small. A technician tracing a fault reads colors first, and a boat where the light circuits use one scheme and the heavy circuits another is slower to work on than one done consistently.

Sixteen gauge covers lighting, electronics, small pumps and low-draw accessories, and 250 feet suits refitting an area rather than a whole boat. The white outer jacket identifies the cable as safety-coded from outside without stripping it.

Type 3 Class K ultra-flexible tinned copper stranding resists corrosion, electrolysis, vibration and repeated flexing. The jacket strips easily with strong abrasion resistance, and the flat profile keeps the cable close against panels and behind trim. Explore more duplex and triplex cable.
