Description
OEX ACX0556/100 Australian Made 2mm Single Core Automotive Cable Black 100m Roll OFHC Copper V90
The OEX ACX0556/100 is a 2mm single core automotive cable in black, supplied on a 100m roll. Manufactured in Australia from 99.99% oxygen free high conductivity (OFHC) copper, it is designed for reliable performance across a wide range of 12V and 24V automotive, marine and caravan wiring applications. Rated at 5A continuous at 30°C with V90 rated PVC insulation. RoHS compliant and CAN bus compatible.
Product overview
In Australian automotive wiring, the "2mm" designation refers to the overall cable diameter rather than the conductor cross-section. This cable has a conductor cross-section of 0.5mm² (20AWG) with 18 strands of 0.18mm copper, providing the flexibility needed for routing through tight spaces and around bends in vehicle bodywork. The 99.99% OFHC copper conductor minimises resistance and signal loss across the run, and the UV stabilised V90 PVC insulation handles continuous operating temperatures up to 90°C, making it suitable for underbonnet and outdoor exposed installations.
At 5A continuous at 30°C, the ACX0556/100 suits signal wiring, lighting circuits, trailer wiring and general automotive accessory runs where a compact, flexible conductor is required. Note that ampacity decreases as ambient temperature rises, so underbonnet applications in high heat environments should be assessed accordingly. The 100m roll provides trade-length supply for workshops and fleet installers working across multiple jobs without restocking.
Features and benefits
99.99% OFHC copper conductor: Oxygen free high conductivity copper minimises resistance and signal loss across the cable run, maintaining reliable electrical performance in automotive and marine applications.
Australian owned and made: Premium quality copper cable produced locally to Australian automotive wiring standards.
UV stabilised PVC insulation: Resists degradation in sun-exposed and underbonnet environments, extending the service life of the cable in outdoor-exposed installation positions.
V90 temperature rating: PVC insulation rated for continuous operation at up to 90°C, the standard automotive-grade insulation specification in Australia.
5A rated at 30°C: Suited to lighting, signal wiring and low-current accessory circuits in 12V and 24V systems.
RoHS compliant: Meets hazardous substance restrictions.
CAN bus compatible: Meets the signal integrity requirements for use in modern vehicle communication network environments.
100m roll: Trade-length supply for workshops and fleet installers covering multiple jobs from a single roll.

Frequently asked questions
What does "2mm cable" mean is that the conductor size or the overall diameter? In Australian automotive wiring, "2mm" refers to the overall cable diameter, not the conductor cross-section. This cable has a conductor cross-section of 0.5mm² (20AWG) with 18 strands of 0.18mm copper. The 2mm designation is the industry-standard size reference used by auto electricians and suppliers across Australia.
What is the amp rating for this cable? This cable is rated at 5A continuous at 30°C. Ampacity decreases as ambient temperature rises, so applications in high-heat environments such as underbonnet installations should be assessed against the expected operating temperature before use.
What does V90 mean? V90 is the Australian cable insulation classification indicating the PVC insulation is rated for continuous operation at up to 90°C. It is the standard specification for automotive-grade PVC insulated cable in Australia and confirms suitability for underbonnet and outdoor-exposed installation positions.
Is this cable suitable for CAN bus wiring? Yes. OEX notes this cable as CAN bus compatible, meaning it meets the signal integrity requirements for use in modern vehicle communication network environments.
Is this cable available in other colours or lengths? OEX produces single core automotive cable in a range of colours and roll lengths. Contact us for available colour and length options to suit your specific wiring application.
