Silicone cable 5AWG (20 mm²) black — flexible power wire for transmitting high currents in low-voltage electrical systems. The wire with a cross-section of 20 mm² has a conductor diameter of 5.85 mm, an outer diameter of 9.5 mm and a declared maximum current of up to 320 A.
Thanks to silicone insulation, 5AWG cable is convenient for installation where flexibility of the power wire is important. The black color allows it to be used to indicate the negative conductor in battery systems and other DC equipment.
⚡ 5AWG power cable for high currents
5 AWG silicone wire has a cross-sectional area of about 20 mm² and is designed for power connections with high current loads. The declared maximum current is 320 A.
The actual permissible continuous current depends on the cable length, laying method, temperature, cooling conditions and permissible voltage drop. Therefore, when selecting a 20 mm² power cable, it is necessary to take into account the parameters of a specific electrical system.
🔋 For batteries, inverters and power systems
Black silicone cable 5AWG can be used to connect batteries, inverters, converters, charging equipment and other powerful DC consumers.
The wire with a cross section of 20 mm² is also convenient for making short power jumpers and connecting cables. When installing, it is important to use terminals of the appropriate cross-section and ensure reliable contact at the connection points.

✔ Advantages of silicone cable
5 AWG silicone cable combines a large cross-section and flexible insulation, which simplifies wiring and connecting equipment in conditions limited space. The outer diameter of the cable is 9.5 mm and the insulation thickness is — 1.65 mm.
If the battery or inverter requires 20 mm² black power wire, the 5AWG model can be used for corresponding high-current connections, taking into account the line length and actual load.
✂ Cable cutting
Please note! The cable price does not include cutting. Standard packaging — 100 m coil.
If the required amount of cable is less than the coil, 10 UAH per cut is added to the order cost.
⚠️ Recommendations
When choosing a power wire, consider the length of the line, the operating and peak current of the equipment, and the permissible voltage drop. The value 320 A is the declared maximum current of the cable and does not mean that such a current is permissible in continuous mode under any installation conditions.
5AWG black silicone cable with a cross-section of 20 mm² — a practical option for powerful battery, inverter, and other low-voltage systems. The cable has a conductor diameter of 5.85 mm, a total diameter of 9.5 mm and is supplied in coils of 50 meters with the possibility of cutting.
