The Tycab 5 Core Electric Brake Cable runs power and control from vehicle to trailer brakes over each sold length of 1 metre. The 2 x 6 mm cores suit brake feed and breakaway power, while the 1 x 5 mm and 2 x 3 mm cores handle lights or accessory circuits across drawbars up to around 10 m. The black sheath keeps the bundle tidy along the chassis so you can tackle wiring jobs without stray single runs. The cable uses multi-strand copper in all five conductors to keep voltage drop in check over those 1–10 m runs common on camper and box trailers. The outer black PVC sheath sits over the coloured inner insulation at a wall thickness of a few millimetres to resist scuffs from steel edges and stone spray. The mix of 6 mm, 5 mm, and 3 mm cores makes this a smart buy for standard electric brake wiring in Aussie touring setups.

Q: Is this cable sold as a continuous length?

Yes, the Tycab 5 Core Electric Brake Cable is sold per metre as a continuous length. If you order 5 units you receive one 5 metre length, not five separate pieces of 1 metre. This makes it easier to run a single cable from the drawbar to the axle. You can then cut it to the exact lengths you need for each circuit.

Q: Can I use this cable for both brake power and trailer lights?

Yes, the mixed core sizes allow separate brake and auxiliary circuits in one sheath. The 2 x 6 mm cores suit higher current electric brake feeds. The 1 x 5 mm and 2 x 3 mm cores can be allocated to functions like park lights or a charge line. This keeps the wiring compact while still separating circuits by colour and core size.

Q: Is the outer sheath suitable for under-trailer mounting?

The black outer sheath is made to handle typical under-trailer routing. It provides a protective barrier around the insulated copper cores when run along steel chassis rails. You should still support the cable with clips or P‑clamps at regular intervals. Avoid direct contact with sharp edges to keep the sheath intact over the life of the trailer.

Q: Can I join this cable to existing brake wiring?

Yes, you can join this cable to existing trailer brake wiring using suitable connectors. Many installers use soldered joins with heat-shrink or quality crimp connectors rated for automotive use. Match each of the five cores by both colour and function to avoid cross-wiring. Always check continuity with a multimeter before towing after any wiring changes.
