This Tycab Red 2 B&S Single Core Marine Tinned cable carries up to 230 amps on short heavy battery runs, handy for winches, inverters and big fridge setups. The 2 B&S gauge keeps voltage drop in check on dual battery systems spread over a few metres of chassis rail or under‑floor channel. The red jacket makes it simple to trace your positive feed when fault‑finding in a tight canopy at night. Sold per metre, it suits custom builds. Inside the sheath you get tinned copper with 399 strands at 0.32 mm each, so the cable stays flexible around bends and suspension movement. The insulation is rated to 90 degrees Celsius, which suits Aussie heat around engine bays and transoms. Marine‑grade tinning helps fight corrosion in salty or humid air from the coast to the river. Match it with proper 2 B&S lugs and a solid crimp tool and you have a smart buy for long‑term setups.

Q: Is this Tycab 2 B&S cable suitable for both 12V and 24V systems?

Yes, this Tycab 2 B&S single core marine tinned cable is suitable for typical 12V and 24V DC setups. The 2 B&S gauge and 230A rating make it a good match for high‑draw gear like inverters, winches or large fridge banks. Just size your run length and fuse correctly for the current you plan to pull. A qualified auto‑sparky should always confirm the final design.

Q: Can I order this cable as one continuous length?

Yes, the cable is sold per metre and can be supplied as a continuous length. If you order 5 units you receive one 5 metre length rather than separate pieces. This helps reduce joins and voltage drop across your setup. Check your planned routing so you order enough to cover bends and service loops.

Q: What lugs or terminals should I use with 2 B&S cable?

Use heavy‑duty lugs specifically sized for 2 B&S cable. Correctly sized lugs grip the full 399‑strand bundle and limit resistance at the joint. Most quality battery lugs list 2 B&S or the equivalent mm² size on the barrel. A proper hex or dieless crimp tool is recommended for a solid mechanical and electrical connection.

Q: Is this cable flexible enough for chassis or trailer runs?

Yes, the conductor is made from 399 strands at 0.32 mm which gives good flexibility for chassis and trailer routing. Fine strands help the cable follow bends without hard kinks. That makes it easier to run through convoluted tubing or tight corners. Secure it with clamps or saddles to keep vibration under control over corrugated tracks.
