6 mm² red and black twin-core automotive cable. Rated 50V DC, 57A capacity. Tinned copper, UV-stabilised PVC sheath. For 12V/24V vehicle, caravan, boat, trailer, and RV wiring.
This 6 mm² twin-core automotive cable provides a ready-to-install red (positive) and black (negative) pair in a single flat or figure-8 sheath — eliminating the need to run separate positive and negative wires while maintaining clear polarity identification at every point along the run. Designed for 12V and 24V DC automotive, caravan, marine, and RV electrical systems, the cable uses tinned copper conductors to resist the corrosion that bare copper suffers in marine and outdoor environments.
With a UV-stabilised PVC outer sheath and a rated current of 57A at 6.0 mm² cross-section, this cable is suitable for powering accessories, lighting circuits, battery interconnects, solar charge controller wiring, and general DC distribution in mobile and marine applications.

Bare copper corrodes rapidly in humid, salty, or outdoor environments — the green oxide that forms increases resistance and generates heat at connections. Tinned conductors maintain low contact resistance for the life of the installation, critical in marine and outdoor automotive applications.
Running a single twin-core cable instead of two separate conductors halves the cable management work — one clip, one grommet, one cable tie instead of two. The red/black colour coding also eliminates polarity mistakes at the termination points.
Standard PVC degrades and cracks when exposed to sunlight over time. UV-stabilised PVC compound maintains flexibility and insulation integrity in exterior automotive and marine installations for the full service life of the vehicle or vessel.
