New 16/2 Awg Marine Cable 100Ft Tinned Copper 2-Conductor Red Black White Round Compatible With

UNIVERSAL MARINE WIRE — 16/2 AWG MULTI-CONDUCTOR BOAT CABLE 100 FT SPOOL:

CABLE CONFIGURATION:
• 2 Conductors x 16 AWG Each (Red + Black ABYC Color-Coded Pair)
• White Round Outer PVC Jacket — UV and Chafe Resistant
• Class K Tinned-Copper Stranding (26 x 30)
• Nominal O.D. 0.313 Inch — Compact and Flexible
• 600 Volt Rated (Higher Voltage Rating Than Single-Conductor Primary Wire)
• 105°C Dry / 75°C Wet Temperature Rating
• UL Listed BC-5W2 Boat Cable per UL 1426

WHY USE 2-CONDUCTOR JACKETED CABLE vs SINGLE-CONDUCTOR WIRE:
• Pre-Paired Red + Black Conductors — Single Cable Run for Complete Circuit
• Outer Jacket Provides Chafe, UV, and Physical Damage Protection
• Easier Installation Through Bulkheads, Conduit, and Loom
• Higher 600V Voltage Rating vs 50V DC Primary Wire
• Cleaner Look for Visible Cable Runs
• Reduces Cable Clip and Tie-Wrap Count
• Internal ABYC Color Coding Maintained (Red Positive + Black Negative)

• United States Coast Guard (USCG) Approved
• Made in USA

FITMENT NOTE:
Universal multi-conductor marine boat cable — fits any marine application requiring a 16/2 AWG paired DC circuit run. Not vehicle-specific. The internal red conductor follows ABYC E-11 designation for positive 12V; the black conductor follows ABYC traditional DC negative designation. For 14/2 step up (more current capacity), for 18/2 step down (smaller circuits). Single-conductor primary wire is preferred for branch circuits where multiple loads share a common return.
