Oxygen-free JP replica cable: the competition reference in 1.5 mm and 1 metre length
The M-106 cable from Mustang is a direct replica of the legendary JP cable, manufactured to the same standards that have made this type of conductor a favourite among the most demanding preparers and club drivers. With a cross-section of 1.5 mm and a length of 1 metre, it is designed for installations that demand maximum electrical performance without compromise.
Main features
- Oxygen-free copper (OFC): the manufacturing process removes oxygen impurities from the copper, resulting in superior conductivity and greater resistance to oxidation over time.
- Over 70 strands: the high number of wires that make up the cable provides extraordinary flexibility, facilitating installation even in the most compact chassis or at difficult angles.
- 1.5 mm cross-section: suitable for power connections inside the car, where a generous cross-section reduces electrical resistance and improves throttle response.
- 1 metre length: sufficient for multiple uses or for a complete installation with room for trimming.
Function and performance
In a slot car prepared for competition, the quality of the wiring directly influences the efficiency of electrical transmission from the braids to the motor. A cable with high purity copper and low internal resistance ensures that the signal from the controller is transmitted to the motor with the highest possible fidelity, without losses that result in delayed or irregular responses.
The multi-strand design of the M-106 also helps prevent the cable from breaking with repeated use, something that regular workshop preparers know well: rigid cables or those with few strands tend to break at the bending points over time.
Compatibility and installation
Due to its cross-section and flexibility, this cable is suitable for connecting the motor, braids, or guide in a wide variety of competition chassis. It is compatible with standard preparation practices and can be cut to the required length for each installation. It is recommended to use good soldering at the solder points to make the most of the conductivity of the oxygen-free copper.
Ideal for…
- Preparers and club competition drivers looking for a high-performance cable at an accessible price.
- Enthusiasts wanting to renew the internal wiring of their slot cars with proven quality materials.
- Preparation workshops needing a flexible and reliable cable to work comfortably with chassis from different brands.
Common mistakes
A common mistake when working with highly flexible cables is not properly tinning the ends before soldering: loose strands can cause micro-cuts or false contacts that affect performance. It is always advisable to slightly twist the strands, apply flux, and tin the end before the final soldering.
Frequently asked questions
What advantage does oxygen-free copper have over standard copper?
Oxygen-free copper (OFC) has superior purity, which reduces electrical resistance and improves conductivity. Additionally, it is more resistant to oxidation, extending the lifespan of the cable under intensive use conditions.
For which connections inside the slot car is a 1.5 mm cross-section suitable?
It is a common cross-section for the main power connections: motor, braids, and guide. In installations where minimising electrical loss is sought, a 1.5 mm cross-section offers a good balance between flexibility and conductivity.
How many installations can I make with 1 metre of cable?
It depends on the chassis design, but in most competition slot cars, one metre is sufficient for two or three complete installations, or for one installation with enough slack to work comfortably.
Is it compatible with any brand of chassis or slot car?
Yes. As it is a generic preparation cable, it is compatible with chassis from any brand: NSR, Slot.it, Scaleauto, Avant Slot, or any other manufacturer. The 1.5 mm cross-section fits standard connectors and soldering in the industry.
Can it also be used for external connections to the car (bench, power supply)?
Although it is intended for internal installation in the car, its flexibility and conductivity also make it suitable for small bench connections or low-power auxiliary installations.
