Automotive and marine cable designed to keep 12V and 24V systems reliable under heat, oil and vibration, electrosmart Automotive Cable. Installers and DIYers gain confidence during fitting while enjoying long-term peace of mind from robust materials and flexible conductors. Is it the practical wiring choice for both boat and car electrics?
⚡ At a Glance
- • Electrical Performance: Plain copper conductors, 2 x 1mm cross-section, 16.5 Amp current rating
- • Best for: Automotive and marine lighting, accessory and battery wiring
- • Not ideal for: High-current primary battery feeds that need thicker cross-sections
Plain copper stranded conductors and thin-wall PVC insulation suit common 12V and 24V circuits. Flat twin-core form helps routing in confined spaces while maintaining a 16.5A rating.
Neat Routing in Tight Spaces - with thin-wall flat stranded construction
Thin-wall PVC insulation reduces overall diameter, while the flat twin layout places two 1mm conductors side-by-side for low profile installation. Stranded plain copper gives flexibility for bends and repeated movement without fatigue.
Easier routing behind trims, along chassis channels and under carpets, saving time on installation and reducing bulk where space is limited.
Suitable Near Fuels and Oils - thanks to PVC insulation with chemical resistance
PVC insulation is specified as resistant to petrol, diesel, lubricating oils and diluted acids, and is rated to operate between -40°C and 105°C. That combination helps retain insulation integrity in engine bays and bilges.
Wiring near tanks, pumps or engine compartments endures exposure without quick degradation, making it a practical choice for marine and underbonnet runs.
Easy Termination and Reliable Contact - with plain copper stranded conductors
Plain copper conductors are stranded rather than solid, which eases stripping and allows better conformity in crimped connectors and solder joints. The 2 x 1mm cross-sectional area carries up to 16.5 Amps under the specified conditions.
Quicker, cleaner terminations and dependable electrical contact reduce installation fiddliness and lower the risk of loose connections on lighting and accessory circuits.
