Our 8 B&S twin core, twin sheath cable is built with pure oxygen-free copper conductors and a tough, reinforced PVC cover with black outer sheathing. It carries more current than ordinary automotive wire of a similar size, and it's waterproof, fire-retardant and handles extreme temperature changes without losing conductivity. SAA certified and made to strict Australian standards, it's sold by the metre so you only buy what your job needs.

Perfect for those who require:

  • ✓ Battery feeds for fridges, chargers and accessories
  • ✓ Dual battery and DC-DC charger installs in 4WDs, caravans and motorhomes
  • ✓ Positive and negative in one neat, protected cable run

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I order the length I need?

Set the quantity to the number of metres you need – for example, a quantity of 6 gets you 6 metres. Your cable is supplied as one continuous length.

Do I need separate positive and negative cables?

No. This is twin core cable, so one length gives you both the positive and negative run from your battery to your device.

Is 8 B&S the right size for my setup?

It depends on how much current your device draws and how long the run is. Use our Cable Size Calculator to check, or contact our Geelong or Melton store for advice.

When does the bulk price apply?

Automatically. Once your cart reaches the next price break (2 m, 5 m, 10 m or 20 m), the lower per-metre price is applied to every metre.
