OEX ACX0811L 6mm Twin Core Automotive Cable, Red/Black, With Black Sheath 100m Roll

OEX ACX0811L Australian Made 6mm Twin Core Sheathed Automotive Cable Red and Black with Black Outer Sheath 100m Roll OFHC Copper 30A V90

The OEX ACX0811L is a 6mm twin core sheathed automotive cable supplied on a 100m roll. Red and black conductors are enclosed in a common black outer sheath, providing both polarity identification and an additional layer of mechanical and UV protection over a standard figure 8 configuration. At 30A per conductor, this is the highest-rated cable in the OEX sheathed twin core range. Each conductor has a 4.59mm² OFHC copper cross-section with 65-strand construction. The PVC insulation and sheath are UV stabilised and rated to V90 (90°C). Compliant with AS/NZS 3808:2000 and RoHS. Covered by a one year warranty. Weighs 12.56kg.

Product overview

The ACX0811L is the 100m roll version of the ACX0811 6mm twin core sheathed cable, suited to workshops and trade installers who regularly work with high-current two-wire runs across winch feeds, dual battery systems and heavy accessory circuits, and prefer the full 100m trade-length supply over the 30m workshop roll. The conductor specification, insulation rating and sheath construction are identical across both roll lengths. At 4.59mm² (11AWG) per conductor with a 30A continuous rating, the ACX0811L handles demanding applications where both positive and negative need to travel together with mechanical and UV protection.

The 65-strand construction provides excellent flexibility for routing through tight spaces and around bends despite the larger 6mm gauge. The UV stabilised V90 PVC insulation and sheath handle continuous operating temperatures up to 90°C for underbonnet and outdoor-exposed installations. The 100m roll suits trade workshops, fleet operators and installers working across multiple high-current two-wire jobs from a single roll. At 12.56kg the roll is substantial — factor this into workshop handling and storage.

Features and benefits

Sheathed twin core construction: Red and black conductors enclosed in a black outer sheath for added mechanical and UV protection and a cleaner finished appearance, suited to exposed runs and locations requiring extra abrasion or weather resistance.

Red and black conductors: Conventional polarity colouring for straightforward positive and negative identification without additional marking or tape.

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

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

30A rated at 30°C per conductor: The highest rating in the OEX sheathed twin core range, suited to winch feeds, dual battery runs, high-current relay circuits and heavy accessory wiring in 12V and 24V systems drawing up to 30A per conductor. Current carrying capacity reduces at higher ambient temperatures.

UV stabilised PVC insulation and sheath: Resists degradation in sun-exposed and outdoor environments, extending the service life of the cable in exposed installation positions.

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

65-strand construction: The 65-strand conductor provides excellent flexibility and resistance to fatigue during installation and in service, maintaining good routing flexibility despite the larger 6mm cable gauge.

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 high-current two-wire jobs from a single roll.

Technical specs

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the ACX0811 and the ACX0811L? Both are the same 6mm twin core sheathed cable with identical conductor and insulation specifications. The ACX0811 is supplied on a 30m roll and the ACX0811L is supplied on a 100m roll. Select based on the quantity required for your installation workload.

What is the difference between sheathed twin core and figure 8 twin core cable? A sheathed twin core cable encloses two separately insulated conductors inside a common outer sheath, providing an additional layer of mechanical and UV protection. A figure 8 cable bonds two conductors side by side without a separate outer sheath. Sheathed cable is better suited to exposed runs and locations requiring extra abrasion or weather resistance.

How do I tell which conductor is positive and which is negative? The red conductor is positive and the black conductor is negative or return, following standard automotive wiring colour convention.

What is the amp rating per conductor? Each conductor is rated at 30A 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.
