Common Concerns Answered
Is this cable available in custom lengths?
While sold by the foot for flexibility, specific longer lengths for extensive custom projects may sometimes require advance planning to ensure availability.
Why is this cable more expensive than non-marine grade wire?
The Pacer 10/2 AWG Safety Duplex Cable is priced higher due to its specialized marine-grade construction, including finely stranded tinned copper and a superior resistance profile, which are essential for long-term reliability in harsh saltwater environments.
How does the PVC jacket handle moisture?
The PVC jacket is specifically designed to be flexible and actively prevents moisture accumulation by filling the spaces between the conductors, safeguarding your electrical connections from corrosion.
