{"product_id":"skysat-cable-16mm2-hi-flex-rouge-marine","title":"16mm² HI FLEX Red Cable","description":"\u003cp\u003e\n    Designed for demanding marine electrical installations, the \u003cstrong\u003e16mm² HI FLEX Red Cable\u003c\/strong\u003e (KA161) is a flexible wiring solution for power distribution aboard. Its 16mm² cross-section makes it suitable for applications requiring significant current, such as powering small inverters, low-power windlasses, or bow thrusters on modest-sized vessels. Manufactured in Italy, this red cable typically identifies the positive pole (+) in direct current (DC) systems.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical specifications and marine applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n    The \"HI FLEX\" designation indicates a design optimized for flexibility, facilitating installation in confined spaces or complex cable runs where stiffer cables would be difficult to handle. Unlike lower-gauge cables, such as 6mm² or 10mm², the 16mm² can support higher loads with minimized voltage drop over moderate lengths—a critical factor for the reliability of marine electronic and electrical equipment.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePositioning and integration\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n    While a 25mm² or larger cable would be preferred for high-power applications like main service batteries or large thrusters, the \u003cstrong\u003e16mm² HI FLEX Red Cable\u003c\/strong\u003e serves as a versatile intermediate option. It is an alternative to standard cables for secondary power circuits or auxiliary battery connections, offering a balance between current capacity and ease of installation. It is commonly used for battery interconnections or powering main distribution panels on sailboats and motorboats up to approximately 10–12 meters, where compactness and maneuverability are assets.\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Skysat","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53723793883476,"sku":"KA161","price":6.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0988\/3274\/4788\/files\/odoo-KA161-main.jpg?v=1779298823","url":"https:\/\/skysat.fr\/en-us\/products\/skysat-cable-16mm2-hi-flex-red-marine-2","provider":"Skysat","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
