OEX ACX0754L 5mm Single Core Automotive Cable, Blue - 100m Roll

OEX ACX0754L Australian Made 5mm Single Core Automotive Cable Blue 100m Roll OFHC Copper 20A V90

The OEX ACX0754L is a 5mm single core automotive cable in blue, supplied on a 100m roll. Manufactured in Australia from oxygen free high conductivity (OFHC) copper, it features a 2.9mm² conductor cross-section and a 20A continuous rating at 30°C, suited to higher-current circuits including heavy accessories, lighting systems and automotive wiring runs where greater conductor capacity is needed beyond the 4mm range. The blue PVC insulation is UV stabilised and rated to V90 (90°C). Compliant with AS/NZS 3808:2000 and RoHS.

Product overview

The ACX0754L is the 100m roll version of the ACX0754 blue 5mm single core cable, suited to workshops and trade installers who regularly use blue 5mm cable across brake light feeds, indicator runs and multi-wire harness builds, and prefer the full 100m trade-length supply over the 30m workshop roll. The conductor specification and insulation rating are identical across both roll lengths. Blue is used in automotive and trailer wiring for brake light feeds, indicator circuits and accessory runs, assisting with circuit identification in installations where colour differentiation reduces wiring errors.

At 2.9mm² (13AWG) with a 20A continuous rating, the ACX0754L handles circuits where the 4mm 15A-rated cable would be undersized. The 41-strand conductor construction provides excellent flexibility for routing through tight spaces and around bends. The UV stabilised V90 PVC insulation handles continuous operating temperatures up to 90°C for underbonnet and outdoor-exposed installations.

Features and benefits

OFHC copper conductor: Oxygen free high conductivity copper minimises resistance and signal loss across the cable run, maintaining reliable electrical performance in automotive and marine applications.

Australian owned and made: Premium quality copper cable produced locally to Australian automotive wiring standards.

Blue colour coding: Blue is used in automotive and trailer wiring for brake light feeds, indicator circuits and accessory runs, and assists with circuit identification in multi-wire installations where colour differentiation reduces wiring errors.

20A rated at 30°C: Higher current capacity than the 4mm range, suited to heavy lighting systems, high-draw accessory circuits and demanding auxiliary loads in 12V and 24V systems drawing up to 20A.

UV stabilised PVC insulation: Resists degradation in sun-exposed and underbonnet environments.

V90 temperature rating: PVC insulation rated for continuous operation at up to 90°C, the standard automotive-grade insulation specification in Australia.

41-strand construction: The 41-strand conductor provides excellent flexibility and resistance to fatigue during installation and in service, suited to routing through tight spaces and around bends.

AS/NZS 3808:2000 compliant: Meets the Australian and New Zealand standard for insulated conductors and cables for internal wiring of equipment.

RoHS compliant: Meets hazardous substance restrictions.

100m roll: Trade-length supply for workshops and fleet installers covering multiple jobs from a single roll.

Technical specs

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the ACX0754 and the ACX0754L? Both are the same 5mm blue OFHC copper single core cable with identical conductor and insulation specifications. The ACX0754 is supplied on a 30m roll and the ACX0754L is supplied on a 100m roll. Select based on the quantity required for your installation workload.

How does 5mm cable compare to the smaller sizes in the OEX range? The 5mm cable has a larger conductor cross-section (2.9mm²) and higher amp rating (20A at 30°C) than the 4mm (1.84mm², 15A), 3mm (1.13mm², 10A) and 2mm (0.5mm², 5A) cables. Select the 5mm where circuits draw up to 20A, such as heavy lighting systems, high-draw accessories or demanding auxiliary loads that would exceed the capacity of the 4mm range.

What is the amp rating for this cable? This cable is rated at 20A continuous at 30°C. Ampacity decreases as ambient temperature rises, so applications in high-heat environments such as underbonnet installations should be assessed against the expected operating temperature before use.

What does V90 mean? V90 is the Australian cable insulation classification indicating the PVC insulation is rated for continuous operation at up to 90°C. It is the standard specification for automotive-grade PVC insulated cable in Australia and confirms suitability for underbonnet and outdoor-exposed installation positions.

Is this cable available in other colours or lengths? OEX produces single core automotive cable in a range of colours and roll lengths across the 2mm, 3mm, 4mm and 5mm ranges. Contact us for available colour and length options to suit your specific wiring application.
