Each wire is 0.5mm, suitable for up to 4A.

What are the colors for?

Each color corresponds to a specific function (e.g., Yellow = Left Indicator, Red = Stop).

What if the cable is too short?

You may need to extend the cable using additional wire and connectors. Ensure all connections are secure.

Route the cable away from potential hazards and use cable ties or clamps to secure it. Consider using protective tubing.
