Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the cross-sectional area of each conductor?

The cross-sectional area of each conductor is 2 x 2mm².

What is the maximum current this cable can safely handle?

The cable has a maximum current rating of 17.5A.

Can this cable be used for 24-volt systems?

Yes, this cable is suitable for standard automotive 12V and 24V systems, provided the current rating is not exceeded.

Is the black sheath durable?

The black sheath provides basic protection, but the thin wall insulation underneath requires care to avoid abrasion or pinching.

How should I strip the insulation?

Use a sharp wire stripper designed for automotive wire to carefully remove the insulation without nicking the copper conductors.

What does RoHS compliant mean?

RoHS compliant means the product adheres to directives restricting the use of specific hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment.

Can I join multiple pieces of this cable together?

Yes, you can join pieces using appropriate crimp connectors or soldering, ensuring the connection is secure, insulated, and protected from the elements.

Troubleshooting

Intermittent connection or no power.

Check all connection points for tightness and corrosion. Ensure the cable's current rating is not exceeded by the connected device. Verify the integrity of the insulation along the cable length for any damage.

Cable feels stiff or difficult to route.

While designed to be flexible, extreme cold can make any cable stiffer. Allow the cable to warm to room temperature. Ensure you are not trying to bend it tighter than its intended radius.

Insulation appears nicked or damaged.

If minor nicks are present, you can attempt to repair with high-quality electrical tape or heat shrink tubing, but avoid using the damaged section for critical connections if possible. For significant damage, it is best to replace the affected portion of the cable.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Compact and flexible due to thin wall construction.
  • Flat profile aids in neat and discreet installation.
  • Generous 30-meter length for various projects.
  • RoHS compliant for environmental responsibility.

Cons

  • Thin wall insulation may be more susceptible to abrasion or damage if not protected.
  • Lower current rating (17.5A) limits use for high-power applications.
  • Requires careful stripping of insulation to avoid nicking conductors.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Unreel the required length of cable from the cardboard reel, taking care not to kink or stress the cable.
  2. Strip the outer black sheath carefully to expose the red and black cores.
  3. Strip a small section of insulation from the ends of each core conductor, ensuring not to cut into the copper strands.
  4. Connect the stripped conductors to your chosen terminals, crimp connectors, or solder points, ensuring a secure electrical connection.

Compatibility:

This cable is designed for 12V and 24V automotive electrical systems. Ensure the total current draw of the connected device does not exceed the cable's 17.5A rating. It is compatible with standard automotive connectors and terminals suitable for 2mm² conductors.

Care:

  • Avoid exposing the cable to excessive heat, direct sunlight for prolonged periods, or harsh chemicals.
  • Protect the thin wall insulation from abrasion by using conduit, sleeving, or secure routing away from moving parts or sharp edges.
  • Ensure all connections are insulated and protected from moisture to prevent corrosion.
