Battery/Starter

Cable
General Cables Carol Brand battery/
starter cable has long been a leader
in the automotive industry. Battery/
starter cable is used in a multitude
of automotive, industrial, and marine
applications. From the initial wire
drawing through the extrusion of the
jacket, we ensure that our battery/
starter cable meets or exceeds the
standards established by the SAE,
Society of Automotive Engineers,
under their specification J-1127.
Our battery/starter cable is
manufactured in both black and
red insulation. The red insulation is
typically used for positive wiring, while
the black insulation typically denotes
negative or ground wiring. Using this
rule of thumb throughout your wiring
systems will make installation and
troubleshooting easier.

General Cables Carol Brand line of battery/starter

cable is available in a variety of gauges, lengths and
packaging options.
