Description

The Mercury 2-core figure-8 cable combines 45-strand copper and copper-clad aluminium (CCA) conductors in each core, enclosed in a red/black PVC sheath that splits cleanly along the centre join. Each core carries 25 copper strands and 20 CCA strands at 0.18mm diameter, giving a combined cross-sectional area of 1.15mm² per conductor and a maximum current rating of 15A.

Designed for automotive 12V wiring, low-voltage power distribution, and passive speaker connections in PA and home audio installations, the cable suits runs where flexibility and colour-coded polarity matter. The figure-8 profile keeps the two cores aligned during installation and the red/black colour coding makes it quick to identify positive and negative connections without needing a meter. The 100m reel supports extended cable runs in vehicles, marquee PA setups, and distributed speaker systems without requiring mid-run joints.

The PVC sheath resists abrasion and moisture ingress in typical indoor and sheltered outdoor environments, though it is not rated for permanent outdoor burial or direct UV exposure. The cable measures 3.5mm thick and 7.0mm wide across the figure-8 profile, making it narrow enough to run through conduit, along carpet edges, and behind vehicle trim without creating noticeable bulk. The copper/CCA conductor mix balances cost and conductivity for applications where pure copper is not mandated by regulation.

Frequently Asked

What's the difference between copper and CCA conductors?

Copper-clad aluminium (CCA) has an aluminium core with a thin copper coating, reducing cost and weight compared to pure copper. Pure copper conducts slightly better and handles higher current density, but CCA is acceptable for most low-voltage speaker and automotive applications where the cable run is under 30m and current draw is moderate.

Can this cable be used for mains voltage?

No. The cable is rated for low-voltage DC applications only (automotive 12V/24V systems, speaker connections, low-voltage power distribution). It does not meet BS 6004 or other mains cable standards and must not be used on 230V AC circuits.

Is the cable suitable for outdoor use?

The PVC sheath resists moisture and abrasion in sheltered outdoor environments (under vehicle bonnets, inside outdoor speaker enclosures, temporary event setups). It is not rated for permanent outdoor burial or direct UV exposure. For long-term outdoor installations, use UV-stabilised or armoured cable.

How is the cable terminated?

For speaker connections, strip 8-10mm of insulation from each core and twist the strands tightly before inserting into binding posts or terminal blocks. For automotive use, crimp with insulated ring or spade terminals rated for 1.5mm² cable. Soldering is possible but not necessary with modern crimp connectors.
