OEX ACX0812 3mm 3 Core Automotive Cable Brown/White/Yellow With Black Sheath 30m Roll

OEX ACX0812 Australian Made 3mm 3 Core Sheathed Automotive Cable Brown White and Yellow with Black Outer Sheath 30m Roll OFHC Copper 10A V90

The OEX ACX0812 is a 3mm 3 core sheathed automotive cable supplied on a 30m roll. Brown, white and yellow conductors are enclosed in a common black outer sheath, providing circuit identification across three conductors in a single protected cable run. Each conductor has a 1.13mm² OFHC copper cross-section rated at 10A at 30°C with 16-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.

Product overview

The ACX0812 steps up from the two-conductor twin core sheathed range to provide three separately insulated conductors in a single black outer sheath. This is suited to applications where three circuits need to travel the same route in one protected cable run, such as trailer wiring harnesses requiring three distinct circuit feeds, multi-function lighting circuits, and accessory wiring runs where three separate functions share a common cable path. The brown, white and yellow conductor colours provide clear differentiation between all three circuits without additional marking.

At 1.13mm² (17AWG) per conductor with a 10A continuous rating, the ACX0812 handles lighting, accessory and signal circuit loads at the 3mm gauge. The 16-strand construction provides flexibility for routing through tight spaces, and the UV stabilised V90 PVC insulation and sheath handle continuous operating temperatures up to 90°C for underbonnet and outdoor-exposed installations. The 30m roll suits workshop jobs and multi-circuit installations without the bulk of a full-length trade roll.

Features and benefits

3 core sheathed construction: Brown, white and yellow conductors enclosed in a single black outer sheath, routing three separately insulated circuits together in one protected cable run with a clean, professional finish.

Brown, white and yellow conductor colours: Three distinct conductor colours for clear circuit differentiation across all three cores without additional marking, taping or sleeving.

OFHC copper conductors: Oxygen free high conductivity copper minimises resistance 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.

10A rated at 30°C per conductor: Suited to trailer lighting, accessory wiring and general multi-circuit applications drawing up to 10A 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.

16-strand construction: The 16-strand conductor provides 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.

30m roll: Workshop-friendly length for multi-circuit jobs without the bulk of a full-length trade roll.

Frequently asked questions

What applications suit a 3 core sheathed cable? A 3 core sheathed cable routes three separately insulated circuits together in one protected cable run. Common applications include trailer wiring harnesses requiring three distinct circuit feeds, multi-function lighting circuits and accessory wiring runs where three separate functions share a common cable path. The three distinct conductor colours brown, white and yellow allow each circuit to be identified at both ends without additional marking.

How does the ACX0812 differ from the twin core sheathed cables in the OEX range? The twin core sheathed cables (ACX0806 and ACX0808) carry two conductors in one sheath for two-circuit runs. The ACX0812 carries three conductors in one sheath for three-circuit runs. Select based on the number of circuits required for your installation.

What is the amp rating per conductor? Each conductor is rated at 10A 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 AS/NZS 3808:2000 compliance mean? AS/NZS 3808:2000 is the Australian and New Zealand standard covering insulated conductors and cables for internal wiring of equipment. Compliance confirms the cable meets defined requirements for conductor construction, insulation properties and performance.
