Description
Pacer 16/2 AWG Speaker Wire 250' - Clear PVC | Boat Supply Store
This Pacer 16/2 AWG speaker wire is engineered for reliable audio signal transmission within marine vessels. It features finely stranded tinned copper conductors and a highly flexible clear PVC insulation, simplifying polarity identification and installation in tight spaces. With a temperature range of -20 C to 105 C and a 90V voltage rating, it is suitable for internal cabin audio systems, such as stereo speakers on a center console fishing boat operating on the Gulf Coast.
Key Features
- Flexible: Highly flexible clear PVC insulation facilitates easy routing in confined marine spaces.
- Durable Conductors: Finely stranded tinned copper conductors ensure excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance.
- Polarity: Features a positive symbol (+) for straightforward polarity identification during installation.
- Compliance: RoHS Compliant Directive 2002/95/EC ensures adherence to environmental standards.
- Visibility: Clear insulation allows for visual inspection of connections.
- Length: Generous 250 ft spool provides ample wire for complex audio setups.
- Stranding: 26 strands of 0.0100 gauge wire offer superior flexibility compared to solid core conductors.
- Temperature Rated: Operates effectively within a -20 C to 105 C temperature range.
