MKGT: low-voltage automotive cable and LED lighting supplies from Rotherham

MK Global Trading Ltd, trading as MKGT, operates an online shop for automotive electrical cable and related components from its base in Rotherham, United Kingdom. The catalogue is organised around 12V and 24V wiring for vehicles and also covers aluminium LED profiles and lighting accessories, so the range serves both electrical rewiring work and lighting projects.

Automotive cable range

The core of the offer is thin-wall low-voltage cable. The shop lists 2 core flat twin and 2 core round twin cable in 12V and 24V versions, with cross-sections from 0.5mm² to 4.5mm² and current ratings from 11A to 42A. Flat twin cable is sold in red/black and in lengths from 5 to 100 metres. Single core stranded cable is offered from 11A to 70A, and multicore cable is available in 3, 4, 5, 7 and 13 core versions, including 0.75mm² three, four and five core and 0.5mm² seven core.

Battery cable is a separate line, supplied in red and black and described as highly flexible. The site notes that the quoted sizes refer to copper area rather than diameter, and gives a conversion guide: 10mm² is approximately 7mm in diameter, 16mm² about 9mm, 25mm² about 10mm, 35mm² about 12mm, 40mm² about 13mm, 50mm² about 14mm, 70mm² about 15.5mm and 95mm² about 18mm. Bulk orders are handled on request.

Technical specifications

According to the product information, the twin flat and round thin-wall cables are rated for use from -40°C to +105°C. They use hard-grade thermoplastic PVC insulation that is lead-free, with a plain copper conductor to EN 13602 and a conductor specification of ISO 6722 / LV112 Type B. The cables are described as resistant to petrol, lubricating oils and diluted acids.

Single core cable is manufactured to ISO 6722-1:2011 (Class B) at 105°C. The reduced insulation is presented as a weight and volume saving, particularly in large wiring harnesses, and the hard-grade insulation is said to protect against abrasion and cut-through. Multicore cable uses stranded copper conductors with hard-grade PVC insulation to the same ISO 6722-1:2011 (Class B) 105°C standard, and the thinner insulation with higher current capacity is described as reducing weight and volume compared with standard PVC cable.

Other cables and accessories

Beyond automotive wire, the catalogue includes solar cable, speaker cable, tri-rated cable, tinned battery cable, spiral cable wrap, split charge relay, jump leads, battery lugs and battery terminals, braided sleeving, cable conduit and cable trunking. A separate LED section covers surface-mounted, recessed and architectural LED profiles, under-cabinet lights, LED strip and accessories for profiles.

Applications and trade customers

The site presents the cables as suitable for automotive, marine and allied industries. It names motorhomes and campervans, including panel van conversions, boat maintenance and upgrades, and motorbike servicing from fast bikes to dirt bikes as typical uses. A trade section invites businesses to ask for bulk prices, and the company states that all cables are sourced from OEM-approved suppliers. Orders are described as available for next-day delivery.
