6 B&S Cables

Power Up Your Setup with 6 B&S Cable

Need a heavy-duty electrical cable for your 12V or 24V setup? 6 B&S cable is a popular choice for high-current automotive systems.

We stock a range in single and twin core options. Choose from per-metre lengths or full spools. Perfect for custom builds, upgrades, or repairs.

What is 6 B&S cable used for?

6 B&S cable is commonly used in dual battery systems, caravans, 4WDs, boats, and solar setups. It carries higher current loads without overheating, which makes it great for long runs between batteries or power-hungry gear.

It's often used to connect batteries, inverters, DC chargers, or fuse boxes. It's also a good option for off-grid applications where voltage drop needs to be accounted for.

What does 6 B&S mean?

6 B&S refers to the size of the cable. It’s about 13.5mm² to 16mm² in cross-sectional area, depending on the brand. The 'B&S' stands for Brown & Sharpe, an old wire gauge standard.

This size strikes a good balance between flexibility and current capacity.

What’s the difference between single core and twin core?

Single core cable has one conductor. You’ll need two runs if you're wiring both positive and negative. Twin core has both conductors inside the same sheath, often colour-coded red and black.

Twin core is easier and neater to install.

Should I buy per metre or spooled cable?

Per metre is great for small jobs or custom lengths. It helps reduce waste and saves cost for short runs. Spooled lengths are better for large installs or if you’re wiring multiple vehicles or systems.

Spooled cable often works out cheaper per metre. It also gives you flexibility to cut exact lengths as you go.
