Description
Australian-Made OFHC Copper Auto Cable Built for the Long Haul
Product Overview
The OEX ACX0558/100 is a 2mm single core automotive cable in red, supplied on a 100m roll. Manufactured in Australia from 99.99% oxygen free high conductivity (OFHC) copper, it's 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, this cable suits signal wiring, lighting circuits, trailer wiring, and general automotive accessory runs where a compact, flexible conductor is required. The red PVC insulation is UV stabilised and rated to V90 (90°C), making it suitable for under-bonnet and outdoor-exposed installations. RoHS compliant and CAN bus compatible, the 100m roll format gives workshops and trade installers the length needed to work through multiple jobs without restocking.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does "2mm cable" mean — is that the conductor size or 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 (20 AWG) with 18 strands of 0.18mm copper. The 2mm figure is the industry-standard size designation used by auto electricians and suppliers.
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 under-bonnet should be assessed accordingly.
What does V90 mean?
V90 is an 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.
Is this cable suitable for CAN bus wiring?
Yes. The supplier notes this cable as CAN bus compatible, meaning it meets the signal integrity requirements for use in modern vehicle communication networks.
Is this cable available in other colours or lengths?
OEX produces single core automotive cable in a range of colours and roll lengths. Check the OEX cable range for other available options to suit your wiring job.
