OEX ACX0900L 8 B&S Single Core Battery Cable, Black - 100m Roll

OEX ACX0900L Australian Made 8 B&S Single Core Battery Cable Black 100m Roll OFHC Copper 7.91mm² V90

The OEX ACX0900L is an 8 B&S single core battery cable in black, supplied on a 100m roll. With a 7.91mm² OFHC copper conductor across 112 strands, this cable is designed for the higher-current demands of battery interconnect, starter motor and heavy accessory wiring where standard automotive cable sizes are insufficient. The PVC insulation is UV stabilised and rated to V90 (90°C). Compliant with AS/NZS 3808:2000 and RoHS. Covered by a one year warranty. Weighs 8.9kg.

Product overview

At 7.91mm² with a 112-strand OFHC copper conductor, the ACX0900L operates at a substantially different scale to the standard single-core automotive cable range. Where 2mm to 6mm automotive cable covers lighting, accessory and relay circuits, 8 B&S battery cable is sized for the sustained high-current demands of battery interconnect wiring, starter motor and alternator feeds, dual battery system main supply runs, winch power cables and other heavy-duty applications where conductor cross-section and low resistance are the primary requirements.

The 112-strand construction provides maximum flexibility for routing through tight engine bay and battery compartment spaces despite the large conductor size. The UV stabilised V90 PVC insulation handles continuous operating temperatures up to 90°C for battery and engine bay installations. The 100m roll suits trade workshops and fleet operations running multiple heavy-duty cable installations. Always verify the required cable size with a licensed auto electrician for your specific application, current load and run length.

Features and benefits

8 B&S gauge battery cable: Battery cable sizing suited to high-current 12V and 24V applications including battery interconnect, starter motor feeds, dual battery runs and winch power cables.

7.91mm² conductor cross-section: Substantially larger than standard automotive single-core cable, providing the low-resistance conductor needed for sustained high-current applications.

112-strand construction: Maximum flexibility for routing through tight engine bay and battery compartment spaces despite the large conductor gauge.

OFHC copper conductor: Oxygen free high conductivity copper minimises resistance for efficient current transfer across high-current battery and supply circuit applications.

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

V90 temperature rating (90°C): PVC insulation rated for continuous operation at up to 90°C, suited to battery and engine bay installation environments.

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 heavy-duty cable installations from a single roll.

Technical specs

Frequently asked questions

What is B&S gauge and how does it differ from AWG or metric sizing? B&S (Brown and Sharpe) is a wire gauge system commonly used in Australian battery and heavy-duty automotive cable. 8 B&S is equivalent to approximately 8 AWG and corresponds to a conductor cross-section of around 7.91mm². It is a standard sizing reference used by Australian auto electricians and suppliers for battery and starter cables.

What applications is 8 B&S battery cable suited to? 8 B&S cable is suited to battery interconnect wiring, starter motor feeds, dual battery main supply runs, winch power cables and other applications requiring a large, low-resistance conductor. Always verify the required cable size with a licensed auto electrician for your specific application and run length.

How does 8 B&S battery cable differ from the standard OEX automotive cable range? The standard OEX automotive single-core cable range covers 2mm to 6mm sizes (0.5mm² to 4.59mm²) for lighting, accessory and relay circuits. The 8 B&S battery cable at 7.91mm² is sized for the sustained high-current demands of battery interconnect, starter motor and heavy-duty supply circuits that exceed the capacity of the standard automotive cable range.

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 battery and engine bay installation positions.
