Tycab Cable
At HS Auto Parts, we believe that quality electrical systems start with quality cable.
That’s why we proudly supply genuine Australian-made Tycab cable, trusted by workshops and installers right across the country.
Whether you’re wiring a touring setup, installing an Anderson plug run, or building a dual battery system, starting with the right cable makes all the difference.
The Australian-Made Standard for 4WD & Caravan Wiring
In today’s world, where more and more products are imported and built to the lowest possible price, supporting Australian-made products has never been more important.
That’s why here at HS Auto Parts, we proudly supply genuine Tycab cable — high-quality automotive cable that is manufactured right here in Australia.
When it comes to electrical installations, whether it’s for 4WD touring setups, Anderson plug runs, battery systems, trailers, or general automotive wiring, the cable you choose matters.
Cheap cable may look the same on the outside, but internally the quality of the copper, insulation, and manufacturing standards can vary dramatically.
Tycab cable is known across the automotive and electrical industries as one of the most trusted names in Australian cable manufacturing. Built to strict standards and designed for demanding conditions, Tycab offers the durability, conductivity, and reliability that professional installers rely on every day.
Why Quality Matters
Electrical systems are only as good as their weakest link — and very often that weak link is the cable itself.
Using quality cable ensures:
- Better current carrying capacity
- Reduced voltage drop
- Improved reliability for accessories and charging systems
- Durability in harsh automotive environments
- Long-term performance you can trust
Whether you’re running power to a fridge, caravan, dual battery system, lighting setup, or winch, starting with quality cable is critical to ensure the system performs as it should.

Full Rolls or Custom Lengths – The Choice is Yours
One thing that makes HS Auto Parts a little different is how we supply our cable.
We purchase Tycab cable in 100-metre rolls, which allows us to offer customers more flexibility than many retailers.
You can purchase:
Full rolls
Pre-cut lengths (such as 6m, 8m, 10m or 12m runs)
Custom cut lengths per metre
If you only need a specific length, we’re happy to roll off exactly what you need.
That means less waste and less money tied up in cable you may never use —
something that’s becoming harder to find these days as many retailers only sell fixed pack sizes.
Built for Real Automotive Use
Tycab cable is designed specifically for automotive and transport applications, meaning it’s built to handle the conditions vehicles experience every day.
From engine bay heat to vibration, touring setups, and off-road use, Tycab cable is built to perform in environments where reliability matters. For workshops, installers and DIY enthusiasts alike, it’s a name you can trust.
Supporting Australian Manufacturing
Choosing Australian-made products isn’t just about quality — it’s about supporting local manufacturing, local jobs, and the industries that keep our automotive sector moving.
By choosing genuine Tycab cable, you’re supporting a product that is designed and manufactured in Australia for Australian conditions.
And that’s something we’re proud to stand behind.
Common Tycab Cable Sizes for 4WD & Caravan Setups
Electrical setups can vary widely depending on vehicle type, alternator design, cable length and power requirements. If you’re unsure which cable size is right for your project, our team is always happy to help.
At HS Auto Parts, we can talk through your setup and recommend the best cable size and wiring solution for your specific application.
Because when it comes to electrical systems, starting with quality cable makes all the difference.
One of the most common questions we get at HS Auto Parts is: “What size cable do I actually need?”
Choosing the correct cable size is important for minimising voltage drop and ensuring your accessories receive the power they need.
