OEX ACX0909 2 B&S Single Core Battery Cable, Red - 30m Roll

OEX ACX0909 Australian Made 2 B&S Single Core Battery Cable Red 30m Roll OFHC Copper 32.17mm² V90

The OEX ACX0909 is a 2 B&S single core battery cable in red, supplied on a 30m roll. With a 32.17mm² OFHC copper conductor across 455 strands, this is the largest cable in the OEX B&S battery cable range and is engineered for extreme high-current positive supply applications where maximum conductor cross-section, minimum resistance and outstanding flexibility are all required. 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 10.71kg.

Product overview

The ACX0909 is the red variant of the OEX 2 B&S single core battery cable range, sharing the same conductor specification and insulation rating as the black ACX0908. Red is the conventional positive wiring colour in automotive and marine electrical installations, making the ACX0909 the natural choice for battery positive supply cables, high-current dual battery and auxiliary power system main positive feeds, high-capacity winch power cables and commercial and heavy vehicle starter motor and alternator positive leads where maximum conductor cross-section is required.

At 32.17mm² with a 455-strand OFHC copper conductor, the ACX0909 delivers the lowest resistance and highest current-carrying capacity in the OEX B&S battery cable range, sitting above the 4 B&S (20.29mm²), 6 B&S (13.36mm²) and 8 B&S (7.91mm²) cables. The 455-strand construction delivers exceptional flexibility for routing through tight engine bay and battery compartment spaces despite the very large gauge. The UV stabilised V90 PVC insulation handles continuous operating temperatures up to 90°C for battery and engine bay installations. The 30m roll suits workshop jobs and single-vehicle heavy-duty installations. Always verify the required cable size with a licensed auto electrician for your specific application, current load and run length.

Features and benefits

2 B&S gauge — the largest in the OEX battery cable range: Maximum current-carrying capacity and minimum resistance for the most extreme high-current positive supply applications in automotive and heavy commercial vehicle wiring.

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 extreme high-current battery supply circuits.

32.17mm² conductor cross-section: Significantly larger than 4 B&S (20.29mm²), providing the lowest resistance and highest current-carrying capacity in the OEX B&S battery cable range.

455-strand construction: Exceptional flexibility for a cable of this cross-section, making the ACX0909 manageable to route through tight engine bay and battery compartment spaces despite the very large gauge.

OFHC copper conductor: Oxygen free high conductivity copper minimises resistance for efficient current transfer across the most demanding extreme-current battery and positive 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.

30m roll: Workshop-friendly length for single-vehicle heavy-duty installations.

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. 2 B&S is equivalent to approximately 2 AWG and corresponds to a conductor cross-section of around 32.17mm². It is a standard sizing reference used by Australian auto electricians and suppliers for battery and starter cables.

How does 2 B&S compare to 4 B&S and 6 B&S? 2 B&S has the largest conductor cross-section in the OEX B&S range at 32.17mm², compared to 4 B&S (20.29mm²) and 6 B&S (13.36mm²). It delivers the lowest resistance and highest current-carrying capacity select 2 B&S for the most extreme current demands, longest runs or heaviest commercial vehicle applications. Always verify the correct cable size with a licensed auto electrician for your specific application.

How does the ACX0909 differ from the ACX0908? Both are 2 B&S single core battery cables with identical conductor and insulation specifications. The ACX0908 is black and suits earth and negative runs. The ACX0909 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.
