Two stranded conductors under one PVC jacket, UL and ABYC certified, ready for the DC accessory runs, lights, and pumps you rig up all season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is Sea-Dog's 12\/2 AWG duplex boat wire, 100 feet of it, in a flat red-and-black encasement. Two tinned-copper conductors run side by side under a single PVC jacket, so you pull one cable instead of fishing two separate wires through a rigging tube. It's the everyday wire you reach for when you're running a 12-volt circuit to a set of lights, a livewell pump, or a new accessory at the helm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 12-gauge size covers a lot of ground on a boat. It handles the moderate DC loads most accessories pull, and the stranded conductors stay flexible enough to route around bulkheads and through tight chases without fighting you. And because it's stranded rather than solid, it takes the constant vibration and flex of a boat without work-hardening and cracking. Red marks positive and black marks negative, so you're not guessing polarity halfway through a run. That color coding saves real time when you come back to troubleshoot a circuit a season later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes this boat wire and not just hardware-store lamp cord is the tinned copper. Every strand is coated in tin, which keeps salt air and moisture from creeping in and corroding the copper the way bare wire does. Bare copper turns green and brittle right at the connections, exactly where you don't want it. Tinned wire holds a clean, low-resistance path for years, and that's why UL and ABYC both certify this construction for marine use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReach for it on DC accessory runs, deck and cabin lighting, bilge and washdown pumps, stereo power, and anything else on a two-conductor 12-volt circuit. The flat jacket lies down nicely against a stringer or under a gunwale, and 100 feet gives you enough to wire several circuits or keep a spool aboard for repairs. Strip it, crimp on a heat-shrink connector, and you've got a marine-grade run that'll outlast the accessory it feeds. It isn't shielded cable, so it's not the pick for sensitive electronics data runs. But for straight power-and-ground work, it's exactly what you want.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e12\/2 AWG stranded conductors carry the moderate DC loads most boat accessories pull\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTinned copper resists salt-air corrosion and holds low resistance at the connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlat duplex encasement bonds both conductors under one PVC jacket for a single, clean pull\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRed and black color coding marks positive and negative so polarity is never a guess\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePVC insulation stands up to moisture, fuel, and oil down in the bilge\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUL and ABYC certified for marine DC wiring\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e100 foot length covers several circuits or keeps a repair spool aboard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized Sea-Dog reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eWhat does 12\/2 AWG mean?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt's 12-gauge wire with two conductors bonded together in one jacket.
