Description
The 5 Core Automotive High Temp Thinwall Cable is an advanced solution engineered to meet the demanding requirements of modern automotive and marine systems. This cable offers a significant upgrade over older BS6862 PVC cables, providing enhanced durability, higher current handling, and a thinner profile.
Thanks to its space-saving thinwall insulation, this cable uses around 30% less volume than standard automotive cable, making it ideal for wiring harnesses where space is limited. With a 16.5A current rating per core, it offers the performance needed for reliable power delivery in 12V or 24V systems – all while helping reduce material usage and potential costs.
The cable’s hard-grade thermoplastic PVC insulation is both lead-free and robust, designed to withstand a broad operating temperature range of -12°C to +105°C (with peaks up to +120°C). It's also partially resistant to petrol, lubricating oils, and diluted acids, ensuring long-term resilience in tough environments.
Used widely by OEM manufacturers and often found in vehicles post-1995, this cable meets key international standards and is the go-to choice for professional wiring setups in automotive, marine, and industrial applications.
