Oceanflex 16mm² Tinned Battery Cable
Black PVC | 10 Metres | 8-08501T-BK
Oceanflex 16 mm² single-core flexible battery and starter cable with a tinned-copper conductor and black PVC insulation. This listing is specifically for the black 10 metre, 16 mm² version—not an assortment of sizes or colours.
Key Features
- Tinned-copper conductor for improved corrosion resistance
- Flexible 203/0.30 mm strand construction
- Black single-core PVC insulation
- Resistant to petrol, lubricating oils and dilute acids
- Manufactured in accordance with ISO 6722:2011 Class B

Compatibility / Fitment Guide
This is a size-specific universal cable. It fits an installation only when 16 mm² tinned cable, black polarity identification and a 10 m supply length meet the circuit design. It is not a five-size or red/black multi-variant listing.
| System voltage | 12 V or 24 V DC marine and vehicle battery systems; maximum product voltage 60 V. |
| Typical circuits | Battery negative/return cables, starter returns and DC negative-bus links within the calculated limits. Black normally identifies DC negative/return. |
| Required sizing check | Calculate with the maximum circuit current, the full positive-and-return conductor length, permitted voltage drop, duty cycle, ambient temperature and any bundling or engine-space derating. |
| Termination | Use crimp lugs made for 16 mm² cable and the terminal stud size. Crimp with the correct calibrated hex or hydraulic tooling, support the cable mechanically and seal exposed joints with adhesive-lined heat-shrink. |
| Polarity identification | Black normally identifies DC negative/return. Verify the existing vessel wiring convention; do not rely on colour alone on older or modified systems. |
| Do not select by | Engine horsepower or the catalogue amp figure alone. Confirm the engine/battery manufacturer's cable-size table and the applicable marine electrical standard before installation. |
Important: The 110 A value is nominal. For starter service in particular, follow the engine manufacturer's minimum cable table because cranking voltage drop may require a larger cross-section.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I choose this cable from the amp rating alone?
No. The stated figure is a nominal catalogue rating. Safe installation depends on circuit length, allowable voltage drop, duty, temperature, bundling, protection and the equipment manufacturer's instructions.
How is cable-run length measured?
For voltage-drop calculations use the complete current path: the positive feed plus the negative return, unless your chosen calculator explicitly asks for one-way length.
Are terminals included?
No. This listing is for cable on a reel. Select lugs separately to match the conductor cross-section and each terminal's stud diameter.
Can unused cable be installed as AC mains wiring?
No assumption should be made from conductor size alone. Use it only within the product's stated voltage/application rating and the applicable wiring standard.
Installation note: Isolate all power sources before work. Protect positive conductors as required by the equipment manufacturer and applicable marine standard, while observing any specific starter-circuit provisions.
