The Tycab Red 6 B&S Single Core cable gives you a solid 125 Amp rating per 1 metre run, so you can wire fridges, inverters and chargers without starving them for current. The 6 B&S gauge sits around 13.5 mm², which is a common size for battery links in touring rigs and camper trailers. The red sheath makes it simple to keep positive runs separate when you match it with black 6 B&S negative cable.

Inside the insulation you have 168 copper strands at 0.32 mm each, which keeps the cable flexible enough for tight corners in canopies and under-drawer spaces. The PVC jacket is rated to 90 Deg, so it handles Aussie engine bay temps and hot chassis rails. The size works with standard 6 B or 13 mm² lugs, so crimp tools and accessories are straightforward. Sold per metre, it lets you buy only the length your setup needs.

Q: Is this Tycab 6 B&S cable sold as a full drum or cut to length?

This cable is sold per metre. You order the total number of metres you need for your wiring run. The warehouse then cuts a continuous length as close as practical to that measurement. This makes it easier to route a single piece from battery to load. It also helps avoid extra joins that can add resistance.

Q: What lugs or terminals should I match with this 6 B&S cable?

Use lugs sized for 6 B&S or around 13 mm² cable. Battery lugs and ring terminals are usually stamped with either 6 B&S or the cross-sectional area in mm². Matching the size keeps the crimp tight on the copper strands. A correct match also helps maintain the 125 Amp rating at the connection point. Always check your crimp tool die matches the lug size.

Q: Can this cable be used on both 12V and 24V systems?

Yes, it suits both 12V and 24V DC systems. The current rating of 125 Amp is independent of whether you run 12V or 24V. In a 24V setup the same load draws roughly half the current, which adds extra headroom. The insulation rating of 90 Deg and the 6 B&S conductor size remain the same across either system. Just stick to correct polarity using the red sheath for positive.

Q: Is the red colour only for automotive use or okay in caravans and boats?

The red sheath is suitable across automotive, caravan and marine DC setups. The colour simply marks the positive conductor in most low-voltage DC standards. Using the same red 6 B&S cable from vehicle battery to caravan or boat makes fault finding easier. It also pairs neatly with matching black cable for negative runs. Always follow local wiring guidelines for routing and protection.
