Description
OEX ACX0903 Australian Made 6 B&S Single Core Battery Cable Red 30m Roll OFHC Copper 13.36mm² V90
The OEX ACX0903 is a 6 B&S single core battery cable in red, supplied on a 30m roll. With a 13.36mm² OFHC copper conductor across 192 strands, this cable is designed for demanding high-current positive supply applications including heavy battery interconnects, starter motor wiring and main supply runs where low resistance and high current capacity are required. The red insulation colour suits positive supply runs in conventional automotive wiring colour coding. The PVC insulation is UV stabilised and rated to V90 (90°C). Compliant with AS/NZS 3808:2000 and RoHS. Covered by a one year warranty.
Product overview
The ACX0903 is the red variant of the OEX 6 B&S single core battery cable range, sharing the same conductor specification and insulation rating as the black ACX0902. Red is the conventional positive wiring colour in automotive and marine electrical installations, making the ACX0903 the natural choice for battery positive supply cables, dual battery main positive feeds, starter motor and alternator positive leads and winch power cables where colour convention supports circuit identification.
At 13.36mm² with a 192-strand OFHC copper conductor, the ACX0903 provides significantly lower resistance and higher current-carrying capacity than the 8 B&S range at 7.91mm². This makes it suited to longer battery cable runs and circuits with higher current demand where minimising voltage drop is critical. The 192-strand construction provides exceptional flexibility for routing through tight engine bay and battery compartment spaces. The UV stabilised V90 PVC insulation handles continuous operating temperatures up to 90°C for battery and engine bay installations. The 30m roll suits workshop jobs and single-vehicle installations without the bulk of a full-length trade roll. Always verify the required cable size with a licensed auto electrician for your specific application, current load and run length.
Features and benefits
6 B&S gauge battery cable: Larger battery cable sizing suited to demanding high-current 12V and 24V positive supply applications where the 8 B&S range would be undersized.
Red colour coding for positive supply runs: Red is the conventional positive wiring colour in automotive and marine electrical installations, assisting with circuit identification and reducing wiring errors in high-current battery supply circuits.
13.36mm² conductor cross-section: Significantly larger than the 8 B&S (7.91mm²), providing reduced resistance and higher current-carrying capacity for longer runs and more demanding positive supply circuits.
192-strand construction: Exceptional flexibility for routing through tight engine bay and battery compartment spaces despite the larger cable gauge.
OFHC copper conductor: Oxygen free high conductivity copper minimises resistance for efficient current transfer across demanding battery and positive supply circuit 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 engine bay environments.
V90 temperature rating (90°C): PVC insulation rated for continuous operation at up to 90°C, suited to battery and engine bay installation environments.
AS/NZS 3808:2000 compliant: Meets the Australian and New Zealand standard for insulated conductors and cables for internal wiring of equipment.
RoHS compliant: Meets hazardous substance restrictions.
30m roll: Workshop-friendly length for single-vehicle and multi-circuit jobs without the bulk of a full-length trade roll.

Frequently asked questions
What is B&S gauge and how does it differ from AWG or metric sizing? B&S (Brown and Sharpe) is a wire gauge system commonly used in Australian battery and heavy-duty automotive cable. 6 B&S is equivalent to approximately 6 AWG and corresponds to a conductor cross-section of around 13.36mm². It is a standard sizing reference used by Australian auto electricians and suppliers for battery and starter cables.
How does 6 B&S compare to 8 B&S? 6 B&S has a significantly larger conductor cross-section (13.36mm² vs 7.91mm²) and more strands (192 vs 112), giving it lower resistance and higher current-carrying capacity. Select 6 B&S for longer runs or circuits with higher current demand than 8 B&S can comfortably handle. Always verify the correct cable size with a licensed auto electrician for your specific application.
How does the ACX0903 differ from the ACX0902? Both are 6 B&S single core battery cables with identical conductor and insulation specifications. The ACX0902 is black and suits earth and negative runs. The ACX0903 is red and suits positive supply runs. Select based on the polarity convention of your installation.
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 battery and engine bay installation positions.
Is this cable available in other sizes or colours? OEX produces battery cable in a range of B&S sizes and colours. Contact us for available size and colour options to suit your specific application.
