This 6.0mm² Twin and Earth TPS cable is a heavy-duty flat cable on a 100 metre roll, built for higher-load circuits that need more conductor than standard power wiring. Each roll is metre marked, which makes it quick to measure runs and keep track of what has been used on site.

A 7/1.04mm stranded plain annealed copper active and neutral and a 2.5mm² earth are insulated in V-90 PVC and enclosed in an easy-tear 3V-90 PVC sheath. The cable is rated 450/750V for a 90°C maximum conductor temperature. The stranded build makes the larger cores easier to bend and terminate, and the easy-tear sheath speeds up stripping. It is a staple for contractors wiring cooktops, ovens, hot water systems and longer power runs in homes and light commercial work.

Key Features

  • 6.0mm² Stranded Conductors – Seven-strand copper active and neutral conductors give capacity for heavier loads while staying workable at terminals.
  • 2.5mm² Earth Conductor – A stranded earth runs inside the same sheath, so no separate earth run is needed.
  • V-90 PVC Insulation – Rated for a 90°C maximum conductor temperature, the standard for Australian TPS wiring.
  • Easy-Tear 3V-90 Sheath – Strips quickly and cleanly, saving time at every termination point.
  • 450/750V Rating – Suits standard low-voltage building wiring.
  • Clearly Coloured Cores – A red active, black neutral and green/yellow earth make identification simple.
  • Metre Marked Sheath – Makes it simple to measure lengths and estimate the cable remaining on the roll.
  • Compact Flat Profile – At about 15.2 x 7.1mm, it lies neatly when clipped to framing or run through ceiling and wall spaces.
  • 100m Roll – A full roll for multi-circuit jobs or builders' stock.

When a job needs more capacity than standard power cable, this 6.0mm² Twin and Earth 100m roll delivers with 7-strand copper conductors, a built-in 2.5mm² earth and an easy-tear, metre-marked sheath. It is a reliable roll to keep on hand for appliance circuits and heavier residential or light commercial wiring.

Q. What is 6.0mm Twin and Earth typically used for?
A.
It is commonly used for higher-load single-phase circuits such as cooktops, ovens and hot water systems, and for longer runs where voltage drop needs to be kept down. The installing electrician must always confirm the cable size to AS/NZS 3000 and AS/NZS 3008.1.1.

Q. What current rating does 6.0mm Twin and Earth have?
A.
It is rated at 51A unenclosed touching, falling to 25A when surrounded by thermal insulation and rising to 57A buried in ducts. The actual rating depends on the installation method, grouping and derating factors in AS/NZS 3008.1.1.

Q. How does 6.0mm compare with 4.0mm Twin and Earth?
A.
Both have a 2.5mm² earth and V-90 insulation, but 6.0mm² uses larger 7/1.04mm conductors for heavier loads or longer runs. The 4.0mm² size is slightly smaller (about 14.0 x 6.5mm) and lighter to handle for general power and medium-load circuits.

Q. Should I use Twin and Earth or Orange Circular?
A.
Flat Twin and Earth is the everyday choice for general building wiring inside walls and ceilings. Orange circular has a round, heavier sheath and is often chosen for submains, three-phase runs and installations needing extra mechanical protection, subject to the installation method.
