Pacer Group

Pacer Group is a premier U.S. manufacturer of marine-grade wire and cable, specifically engineered to withstand the harsh conditions of the saltwater environment.¹ Based in Sarasota, Florida, they produce over 9,000 products that are the preferred choice for major boat builders (OEMs) and repair professionals.

Marine-Grade Wire & Cable

Pacer's wire is built using tinned copper, which provides superior resistance to corrosion compared to standard bare copper wire.

• Primary Marine Wire: This is a single-conductor, finely stranded wire available in gauges from 18 AWG to 8 AWG. It features a proprietary PVC jacket that is resistant to oil, gasoline, acid, and moisture.

• Marine Battery Cable: Designed for high-amperage applications like engine starters and battery banks, this cable ranges from 6 AWG to 4/0 AWG. It is extremely flexible, making it easier to route through tight hulls.

• Duplex & Triplex Boat Cable: These multi-conductor cables are used for AC and DC power distribution. Duplex (2 conductors) and Triplex (3 conductors) are encased in a secondary white jacket for added protection and organization.

Electrical Components & Accessories

Beyond wire, Pacer provides a comprehensive ecosystem of components to complete any marine electrical project.

• Heat Shrink Terminals & Connectors: These terminals feature an adhesive-lined sleeve that, when heated, creates a watertight seal around the wire connection, preventing salt air from corroding the conductor.

• Wire Management Solutions: This category includes UV-resistant nylon C-clamps, split conduit, and braided sleeving to keep your wiring neat, secure, and protected from abrasion.

• Custom Switch Panels: Pacer is well-known for engineering OEM-quality dash panels and actuator switches, often seen on high-end center consoles and sportfishers.

Why Choose Pacer Group?

• Corrosion Resistance: Every strand of copper is tin-plated, essential for long-term reliability in marine settings.

• Regulatory Compliance: Their products meet or exceed UL, ABYC, and USCG standards.
