Product Information
Full details
This 7-meter reel of Connect Single Core Auto Cable in black is designed for automotive and marine low-voltage applications. Its key benefit is providing a reliable and compliant conductor for basic electrical circuits, though it is rated for temperatures up to 70°C, limiting its use in extreme heat environments. The cable features stranded copper conductors with PVC insulation, meeting European and British standards, making it suitable for common tasks like wiring lights and indicators.

FAQs
What is the maximum current this cable can handle?
This cable has a maximum current rating of 5.75 amps due to its 0.65mm² conductor area.
What temperature can this cable withstand?
The cable is rated for temperatures up to 70°C.
What types of applications is this cable suitable for?
It is suitable for general purpose, low-voltage automotive and marine applications, such as side & tail lights and indicators.
What does 'single core' mean?
Single core means the cable contains one conductor (a bundle of wires) insulated from the outside. It's used for basic, single-wire circuits.
What standards does this cable meet?
All Connect automotive cables meet current and relevant European & British standards, including ISO6722:2006 Class B.
Is this cable suitable for engine bay wiring?
It is not recommended for direct engine bay wiring where temperatures often exceed 70°C. Consider cables with higher temperature ratings for such applications.
What is the conductor made of?
The conductors are made of stranded copper wire.
Troubleshooting
Cable does not conduct electricity
Ensure the copper conductors are properly stripped and making good contact at both ends of the connection. Check for breaks in the conductor strand.
Overheating during use
Immediately disconnect power. This indicates the circuit is drawing more current than the cable's 5.75 amp rating. Re-evaluate the circuit design and use a thicker gauge cable if necessary.
Insulation damage
Repair minor damage with electrical tape or heat shrink tubing. If damage is severe, replace the affected section of cable to prevent short circuits.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Meets relevant European and British standards for automotive cable.
- Flexible and easy to work with due to stranded copper conductors.
- Suitable for common low-voltage applications like lighting.
- Supplied on a convenient mini reel.
Cons
- Limited to 70°C, making it unsuitable for high-temperature engine bay areas.
- Single core design limits its use to simpler circuits.
- 0.65mm² conductor area has a current limit of 5.75 amps, restricting use in high-draw applications.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Unreel the desired length of cable from the mini reel.
- Strip the PVC insulation from the ends using appropriate wire stripping tools.
- Connect the exposed copper conductor to your terminal or connection point.
- Ensure all connections are secure and insulated using heat shrink tubing or electrical tape.
Compatibility:
- This cable is designed for low-voltage (12V/24V) automotive and marine applications.
- It is compatible with standard automotive connectors and crimping tools.
- Ensure the 5.75 amp current rating is not exceeded for the intended circuit.
- Verify the 70°C temperature limit is respected for the installation environment.
Care:
- Store the remaining cable on the reel in a dry location to prevent corrosion or damage.
- Avoid exposing the cable to excessive abrasion or sharp objects.
- Regularly inspect visible cable runs for any signs of damage or wear, especially in high-vibration environments.
