OEX ACX0901L 8 B&S Single Core Battery Cable, Red - 100m Roll

OEX ACX0901L Australian Made 8 B&S Single Core Battery Cable Red 100m Roll OFHC Copper 7.91mm² V90

The OEX ACX0901L is an 8 B&S single core battery cable in red, 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 red insulation colour suits positive supply runs in conventional automotive wiring colour coding. 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

The ACX0901L is the red variant of the OEX 8 B&S single core battery cable range, sharing the same conductor specification and insulation rating as the black ACX0900L. Red is the conventional positive wiring colour in automotive and marine electrical installations, making the ACX0901L the natural choice for battery positive supply cables, dual battery main positive feeds, starter motor and alternator positive leads, and winch power cables where colour convention supports circuit identification.

At 7.91mm² with a 112-strand OFHC copper conductor, this cable operates at a substantially different scale to the standard single-core automotive cable range. 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 positive supply applications including battery interconnect, starter motor feeds, dual battery main positive runs and winch power cables.

Red colour coding for positive supply runs: Red is the conventional positive wiring colour in automotive and marine electrical installations, assisting with circuit identification and reducing wiring errors in high-current battery supply circuits.

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

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

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 red battery cable suited to? 8 B&S red battery cable is suited to positive supply runs including battery positive cables, starter motor and alternator positive leads, dual battery main positive feeds, winch power cables and other high-current applications where red identifies the positive supply. Always verify the required cable size with a licensed auto electrician for your specific application and run length.

How does the ACX0901L differ from the ACX0900L? Both are 8 B&S single core battery cables with identical conductor and insulation specifications. The ACX0900L is black and suits negative or earth runs. The ACX0901L is red and suits positive supply runs. Select based on the polarity convention of your installation.

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.
