Common Concerns Answered
Is this wire significantly more expensive than non-marine grade wire?
While Pacer's marine-grade wire may have a higher initial cost than standard electrical wire, its specialized construction, including tinned copper and a robust PVC jacket, provides superior corrosion resistance and longevity in the harsh marine environment, justifying the investment for critical boat systems.
Can I find this Pacer cable at any electrical supply store?
Pacer marine-grade duplex cable is typically available through specialized marine suppliers to ensure availability of products meeting stringent industry standards. BoatSupplyStore.com is your trusted source for this high-quality marine electrical component.
Why is marine-grade wire necessary when standard wire seems similar?
Marine environments expose wiring to constant moisture, salt spray, fuel, and oils, which degrade standard wire rapidly. Pacer's 6/2 AWG Duplex Cable features tinned copper for corrosion resistance and a jacket formulated to withstand these elements, ensuring safety and reliability far beyond conventional wire.
