100m Roll of 6B&S (13.5mm²) Black Single Core Automotive Cable

100m Roll of 6B&S (13.5mm²) Black Single Core Automotive Cable: Engineered for Demanding 12V/24V Systems

High-Current Automotive Cable for Reliable Power Distribution

The 6B&S (13.5mm²) black single core automotive cable is designed to deliver consistent, low-resistance power in 12V and 24V DC automotive, marine, and off-grid applications. With a 103A current rating at 30°C (JASO D609), this cable is well suited for high-demand circuits such as auxiliary battery charging, inverter connections, and solar input wiring. The 100-metre roll provides ample length for large installations or multiple projects, reducing the need for joins and minimising potential voltage drop.

Manufactured with plain annealed copper conductors (168/0.32 stranding) and a durable V90HT PVC insulation rated to 90°C, this cable offers excellent flexibility and resistance to heat, abrasion, and automotive fluids. It is compliant with RoHS and relevant Australian/New Zealand standards, ensuring a professional-grade solution for installers and DIY enthusiasts alike.

Note: The 103A rating is based on JASO D609 at 30°C ambient. Typical de-rating factors apply for bundling and elevated temperatures.

Key Features

• 103A current rating (JASO D609) for high-power circuits
• 13.5mm² conductor area with fine 168/0.32 stranding for flexibility
• V90HT PVC insulation resists heat up to 90°C, oil, and fuel
• Low electrical resistance (1.4 Ω/km at 20°C) minimises voltage drop
• 100-metre continuous roll reduces waste and installation time
• Black outer sheath for easy identification in multi-cable setups

Built for Australian Conditions

This cable's V90HT insulation is stabilised to withstand the high under-bonnet temperatures and UV exposure common in Australian environments. The oxygen-free copper conductors provide superior conductivity and corrosion resistance, ensuring long-term reliability in coastal or humid regions. Unlike generic cables with lower strand counts, the fine stranding of this 6B&S cable enhances flexibility, making it easier to route through tight engine bays, chassis rails, and conduits without compromising current-carrying capacity.

Applications

Ideal for a wide range of low-voltage DC systems, including:

• Auxiliary battery wiring in 4WDs, caravans, and camper trailers
• Solar panel to regulator connections for off-grid setups
• Inverter DC input cables (up to 120V DC maximum)
• Marine electrical systems requiring high-current, flexible cabling
• General automotive rewiring for lighting, winches, and accessories

With a maximum DC voltage rating of 120V, this cable is also suitable for 24V and 48V systems, providing versatility beyond standard 12V automotive use.

Why Choose This Cable Over Generic Alternatives?

Many budget cables use lower-grade copper or reduced strand counts, leading to higher resistance, increased voltage drop, and potential overheating under load. This 6B&S cable is manufactured to meet stringent JASO D609 standards, ensuring consistent performance and safety margins that generic products may lack. The 100-metre roll also offers better value for professional installers and enthusiasts undertaking multiple projects, eliminating the need for multiple shorter lengths and reducing connection points that can become failure sites.
