Our automotive thin wall cable is designed for modern vehicle electrics where reliability, flexibility, and space-saving are important. Suitable for cars, vans, campervans, caravans, motorhomes, and 12–24V systems.
The mm² size tells you how much copper is inside the cable.
If you cut the cable and looked at the end:
The copper area is measured in square millimetres (mm²)
Bigger mm² = more copper
More copper = the cable can carry more current (amps)
⚠️ Please note:
mm² is NOT the same as diameter.
The outside diameter of the cable is always larger because of the insulation.
All our cables are specified by mm² (copper size).
Simple comparison:
Think of electricity like water in a pipe:
Small mm² = narrow pipe (less power)
Large mm² = wide pipe (more power)
Use this table if you are measuring an existing cable with a ruler or verniers.
| Cable size (mm²) | Typical outside diameter |
|---|---|
| 1.0 mm² | ~ 2.0 mm |
| 2.0 mm² | ~ 2.6 mm |
| 4.0 mm² | ~ 3.3 mm |
| 6.0 mm² | ~ 3.8 mm |
| 10 mm² | ~ 4.8 mm |
| 16 mm² | ~ 6.0 mm |
| 35 mm² | ~ 9.5–10.0 mm |
Sizes are typical for automotive thin wall cable and may vary slightly by manufacturer.
Measure across the outside of the insulation
Do not squash the cable
Compare your measurement to the table above

👉 The mm² refers to the copper inside, but measuring the outside diameter is the easiest way to identify your cable size.
Thinner insulation than standard automotive cable
Same copper size, smaller overall diameter
Saves space in looms and conduits
Lightweight and easy to route
High-quality multi-strand copper for flexibility
Heat-resistant automotive insulation
Resistant to oil, fuel, and vibration
Suitable for 12V and 24V systems
Easy to strip and terminate
Professional OEM-style cable
Lighting circuits
Switches and relays
Fans, pumps, and accessories
Sensors and control wiring
Campervan and caravan installations
Smaller mm² → lights, signals, low-power circuits
Larger mm² → motors, accessories, battery feeds
If in doubt, choose the next size up — especially for long cable runs.
Flexible and durable. Sold by the meter in one continuous length.
