Description

Duplex boat cables are specialized electrical wiring systems designed specifically for marine vessels, featuring two conductors within a single protective jacket to provide reliable power transmission for onboard equipment such as lights, pumps, motors, and various electrical systems. These cables are engineered to withstand the demanding marine environment, including constant exposure to saltwater, high humidity, temperature extremes, sunlight, and physical stress. Constructed with tinned copper conductors that offer superior corrosion resistance compared to standard copper, duplex boat cables feature robust insulation designed to protect against electrical shock and short circuits while meeting strict marine performance standards. The durable outer jacket provides essential protection against saltwater, UV exposure, abrasion, and harsh environmental conditions while maintaining flexibility even in cold temperatures for ease of installation. These cables must meet specific voltage requirements, current capacity standards, and resistance specifications to ensure safe and efficient electrical transmission throughout the vessel’s electrical system, making them an essential component for reliable marine electrical performance.

Individual Gauge Specifications

8 AWG Duplex Boat Cable: Our 8 AWG Duplex Boat Cable combines high-performance wiring with easy installation, featuring a durable outer jacket that resists abrasion and moisture, making it perfect for demanding marine environments where robust current-carrying capacity is needed for higher-power applications and equipment requiring substantial electrical loads.

10 AWG Duplex Boat Cable: The 10 AWG Duplex Boat Cable offers a balance of strength and flexibility, ideal for medium-duty marine electrical systems, with tinned copper conductors providing excellent corrosion resistance and conductivity for reliable power transmission in moderately demanding applications where optimal performance and manageability are essential.

12 AWG Duplex Boat Cable: For reliable performance in smaller circuits, the 12 AWG Duplex Boat Cable is an excellent choice, featuring a tough jacket and tinned copper strands engineered to withstand the rigors of marine use while delivering consistent, dependable performance for moderate electrical loads and general-purpose marine applications.

14 AWG Duplex Boat Cable: Designed for smaller-scale marine applications, our 14 AWG Duplex Boat Cable delivers reliable power transmission with rugged insulation that protects against moisture, chemicals, and abrasion, making it ideal for lighter electrical loads while maintaining the durability required for marine environments.

16 AWG Duplex Boat Cable: Compact and efficient, the 16 AWG Duplex Boat Cable is ideal for low-power marine applications, with durable construction ensuring long-term reliability in challenging environments while providing the precise current capacity needed for smaller electrical systems and auxiliary equipment.

18 AWG Duplex Boat Cable: The 18 AWG Duplex Boat Cable offers lightweight wiring for minor marine systems, featuring a flexible design and robust outer jacket that provide excellent protection and ease of use for low-current applications such as instrumentation, lighting circuits, and other light-duty electrical connections.
