Flat 2 Conductor Wire

Can anybody refer me somewhere as to purchasing 'flat' 2 conductor wire either 14 or 12 gauge strand with the insulation being black in color. I don't really want to use lamp cord. Thanks, Rick.

Truck shops have it, I used to use it to run auxiliary power for a drop axle on various trucks.

While not flat, it is 2 conductor. I used this to wire my elec brakes on my trailer.

Here is another option: You can see why I bought the above wire. Way cheaper.

You could also use low voltage wire like for Malibu lights. It has a heavy coating.

Cheap option (I've used it) is to just cut the connectors off a 120v extension cord. Nice and flexible and as long as you need.

Thanks for your responses. I found some flat gray wire and I think I will get me some black heat shrink and cover the gray up. I'm using the wire to hook up some off road lights on my sand buggy. I will be zip tying it to the roll cage which is black.

E-trailer has that flat two-conductor in both 12 gauge and 10 gauge, stranded. Grey outer jacket, black and white innards.

Shaped a little like Romex, only less the ground wire.

Recently ordered some of both.
