Compatibility / Fitment Guide
This is a size-specific universal cable, not an engine-model-specific harness. It fits only when a 70 mm² tinned red conductor, 15.5 mm maximum cable diameter and the selected terminal lugs suit the designed route and equipment.
| System voltage | 12 V or 24 V DC marine and vehicle battery systems; maximum product voltage 60 V. |
| Typical circuits | High-current battery positive feeds, battery-bank interconnects, starter feeds and inverter/DC distribution circuits where 70 mm² is specified and properly protected. |
| 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 70 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 | Red normally identifies DC positive. Verify the existing vessel wiring convention and protect the positive conductor according to the equipment maker and applicable standard. |
| 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 485 A value is nominal, not permission to place any 485 A continuous load on the cable. Confirm thermal ampacity, duty cycle, fuse/circuit protection, voltage drop and termination ratings.

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.
