Description
Single Core Automotive Cable Overview
This single core automotive cable is a flexible, PVC-insulated wire for vehicle wiring, accessory circuits and general 12V/24V electrical work. Generally, it suits automotive electricians, workshops and contractors who need to match an existing cable size, colour or trace colour during a wiring job.
Configuration Details
- Industry-equivalent sizes: 4mm, 5mm and 6mm
- Core colours: Black, Blue, Brown, Green, Grey, Orange, Pink, Purple, Red, White and Yellow
- Trace colour options (on the 4mm size): Black, Blue, Brown, Green, Purple, Red, White and Yellow, or no trace
- Roll lengths: 30m and 100m
The industry size label does not always match the real conductor area in mm². Therefore, always confirm the actual cross-sectional area against the Tycab catalogue when matching a replacement cable. Otherwise, the colour and trace-colour pairing is usually the fastest way to identify the existing wire on a loom. Indeed, most vehicle looms already use a consistent colour code from the factory.
Typical Applications
Overall, this size and colour range covers most vehicle wiring jobs:
- General vehicle and trailer wiring
- Accessory and auxiliary circuits
- Lighting and switch circuits
- Panel and loom rewiring where an existing colour code needs matching
For full technical sizing information, see the Tycab automotive cable catalogue. Generally, checking the catalogue first avoids an ordering mistake on the size label.
