The Tycab Electric Brake Cable (Sold Per Metre) gives you four dedicated conductors in one sheath for trailer brake wiring over each 1 m length. You get two main 6 mm cores and extra 5 mm and 3 mm conductors, handy when you are running brake power, earth and a monitor line down a 4 m drawbar. That keeps the loom tidy along the chassis on campers, box trailers or work rigs running 12 V brakes.

The cable uses copper conductors sized at 6 mm, 5 mm and 3 mm inside a black PVC sheath roughly 10 mm across. That thickness helps control voltage drop on runs over 5 m where brake magnets pull noticeable current. The insulation is made for typical Aussie road temps from about -10°C to 60°C so it suits coast to inland towing. It is a smart buy when you want one cable to cover the full brake circuit.

Q: Can I buy this cable in one continuous length?

Yes, the electric brake cable is sold per metre as a continuous length. You simply choose the total number of metres you need for your trailer or caravan. The store then cuts that as a single run where stock allows. That lets you avoid joins along long chassis runs.

Q: Is this cable suitable for both 12 V and 24 V brake systems?

Yes, this brake cable is suitable for common 12 V and 24 V electric brake circuits. The copper conductors and insulation are sized for typical trailer brake currents at these voltages. You just match the core size to the current draw of your magnets or actuators. Always follow your brake controller and vehicle wiring guidelines.

Q: Can I run other trailer circuits in this same cable?

Yes, many setups use the extra 5 mm and 3 mm cores for auxiliary or signal functions. Common uses include earth returns, brake light trigger feeds, or monitor lines. Keeping them in one sheath helps protect the conductors along the chassis. Just make sure each circuit stays within its current rating.

Q: Do I need conduit over the outer sheath?

Extra conduit is optional and depends on how exposed the cable will be. The black outer sheath already gives mechanical and environmental protection. Many installers still add split conduit on sharp chassis edges or stone strike zones. That extra layer helps the cable last longer on rough gravel roads.
