OEX ACX0928 6 B&S Twin Core Battery Cable, Red/Black With Black Sheath - 30m Roll

OEX ACX0928 Australian Made 6 B&S Twin Core Battery Cable Red and Black with Black Outer Sheath 30m Roll OFHC Copper 13.36mm² V90

The OEX ACX0928 is a 6 B&S twin core battery cable with a black outer sheath, supplied on a 30m roll. Red and black conductors each with a 13.36mm² OFHC copper cross-section across 192 strands are enclosed in a common black outer sheath, combining the higher current capacity of 6 B&S battery cable with the convenience of a single protected two-wire run. Rated to V90 (90°C) with UV stabilised PVC insulation and sheath. Compliant with AS/NZS 3808:2000 and RoHS. Covered by a one year warranty.

Product overview

The ACX0928 steps up from the 8 B&S ACX0927 twin core battery cable with a larger 13.36mm² conductor cross-section and 192 strands per conductor, providing lower resistance and higher current-carrying capacity for longer runs and more demanding dual battery systems, high-capacity winch installations and applications where positive and negative heavy-current feeds need to travel together with protection. The shared black outer sheath routes both conductors in a single neat run, reducing cable management complexity and providing additional mechanical and UV protection compared to two separate single-core cables.

At 13.36mm² per conductor with a 192-strand OFHC copper construction, each core provides the high-current capacity of the 6 B&S single core range. The UV stabilised V90 PVC insulation and sheath handle 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

6 B&S twin core sheathed construction: Red and black conductors in a black outer sheath for clean, protected high-current two-wire runs, combining the current capacity of 6 B&S battery cable with the installation convenience of a single cable.

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

13.36mm² per conductor: Larger cross-section than the 8 B&S ACX0927 (7.91mm²), providing lower resistance and higher current-carrying capacity for longer runs and more demanding high-current applications.

192-strand construction per conductor: Excellent flexibility for routing through tight engine bay and battery compartment spaces despite the larger conductor gauge.

OFHC copper conductors: 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 and sheath: Resists degradation in sun-exposed and engine bay 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, 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 heavy-duty single-vehicle and multi-circuit installations.

Technical specs

Frequently asked questions

What is 6 B&S gauge and how does it compare to 8 B&S? 6 B&S (Brown and Sharpe) is equivalent to approximately 6 AWG and corresponds to a conductor cross-section of around 13.36mm² per conductor. It is larger than 8 B&S (7.91mm²), delivering lower resistance and higher current-carrying capacity. Select 6 B&S for longer runs or applications with higher current demand than the 8 B&S ACX0927 can comfortably handle.

What is the advantage of twin core battery cable over two separate single core cables? A twin core sheathed cable keeps positive and negative conductors together in a single protected run, resulting in a neater installation with less cable management. The shared outer sheath also provides additional mechanical and UV protection compared to two individual cables routed separately.

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 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.
