    The 600V rating pertains to the cable's insulation. Whether the cable will carry 5 amps of current depends on the application, environment, and factors such as the gauge of the individual conductors, the length of the cable, and the current duration.

    I suggest you post in the electrical or electronics forum with a description of what you are trying to achieve for cable sizing assistance, code considerations, or other recommendations.
