Description
OEX ACX0560/100 Australian Made 2mm Single Core Automotive Cable Blue 100m Roll OFHC Copper V90
The OEX ACX0560/100 is a 2mm single core automotive cable in blue, 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
The ACX0560/100 is the 100m roll version of the ACX0560 blue 2mm single core cable, suited to workshops and trade installers who regularly use blue cable across trailer wiring, brake light circuits, indicator runs and multi-wire harness builds, and prefer the full 100m trade-length supply over the 50m roll. The conductor specification and insulation rating are identical across both roll lengths. Blue cable is used in automotive and trailer wiring for brake light feeds, indicator circuits and accessory runs, and assists with circuit identification in multi-wire installations where colour differentiation reduces wiring errors.
In Australian automotive wiring, the "2mm" designation refers to the overall cable diameter. The conductor cross-section is 0.5mm² (20AWG) with 18 strands of 0.18mm copper, providing the flexibility needed for routing through tight spaces and around bends. The 99.99% OFHC copper conductor minimises resistance and signal loss, and the UV stabilised V90 PVC insulation handles continuous operating temperatures up to 90°C for underbonnet and outdoor-exposed installations. Ampacity decreases as ambient temperature rises, so underbonnet applications in high-heat environments should be assessed accordingly.
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.
Blue colour coding: Blue is used in automotive and trailer wiring for brake light feeds, indicator circuits and accessory runs, and assists with circuit identification in multi-wire harness builds where colour differentiation reduces wiring errors.
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.
18-strand construction: The 18-strand conductor provides flexibility and resistance to fatigue during installation and in service, well suited to routing through tight spaces and around bends.
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 difference between the ACX0560 and the ACX0560/100? Both are the same 2mm blue OFHC copper single core cable with identical conductor and insulation specifications. The ACX0560 is supplied on a 50m roll and the ACX0560/100 is supplied on a 100m roll. Select based on the quantity required for your installation workload.
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.
