Tycab Brown/Red 3mm Trace Single Core cable gives you a known 10A path for smaller 12V jobs up to around 5m from the power source. The brown sheath with a red trace stands out when you have more than 3 circuits in the same loom so you can chase faults without stripping back 1m of tape. The single core layout suits runs where the body handles earth within less than 1 arm’s reach. This gear runs a 3mm automotive cable with a 14-strand conductor so it stays flexible through tight bends under 50mm radius. The insulation holds a 90°C rating which matches most auxiliary wiring around bays that sit under 80°C. The per‑metre supply lets you order 1m, 3m or 10m instead of wasting a full 100m roll. That makes it a smart buy for tidy DIY setups and small shop jobs.

Q: Is this Tycab 3mm single core cable sold in a continuous length?

Yes, this cable is sold per metre as a continuous length where possible. If you order 5 units you receive one 5m length, not five separate 1m pieces. Continuous runs help reduce joins that can add resistance and potential failure points. If a maximum roll length applies, it will match Tycab’s standard supply limits.

Q: What sort of loads suit the 10A rating on this cable?

This cable suits loads that draw 10A or less on a 12V system. Typical examples include smaller LED lights, low‑draw pumps, and trigger or signal feeds. Staying within the 10A limit helps manage voltage drop and heat in the insulation. For higher‑draw gear, step up to a larger cable size.

Q: Can this 3mm single core cable be used in engine bays?

This cable can be used in engine bays where temperatures stay within its 90°C rating. Keep it away from exhaust manifolds or turbo housings which can exceed that level. Use protective conduit where the cable passes sharp edges or close to moving parts. Secure the run with suitable clips to prevent chafing.

Q: What is the benefit of the brown with red trace colour?

The brown sheath with a red trace helps identify a specific circuit quickly. The trace stands out when bundled with other solid colours in the same loom. This reduces tracing time when fault‑finding or adding accessories later. Consistent colour use across the vehicle makes future work much simpler.
