8/3 AWG Triplex Cable – Black/Green/White – 100′

8 AWG Triplex boat cable is commonly used for AC circuits in boats and recreational vehicles.  It is an ideal choice when looking at multiconductor boat cables.  Pacer Group manufactures 16 AWG triplex cable in the USA for longevity and easy installation.  How is that accomplished?  It starts with finely stranded tinned copper conductors.  These conductors prevent corrosion and also allow the cable to be flexible.  

Another important aspect of triplex boat cable is the insulation.   The PVC insulation is designed specifically for protection from moisture and fatigue.  These conductors also allow the cable to be flexible.  Flexibility is essential when working in enclosed marine spaces.  The PVC insulation is designed for protection from moisture and fatigue.  It is created during the extrusion process.  The extrusion process for this cable fills the voids between the conductors.  This process eliminates any possibility of moisture or air build up in the wires.  To make it even better, talcum powder is coated on the wires.  This is done to allow for the easy removal of the jacket during installation.
