6mm is huge overkill, 6awg (16mm) is stupid overkill for a little console fridge that'll draw couple of amps.
You'll need to put a fuse in to protect the smallest cable, which is the fridge cable. Or, buy 6mm, fuse that at 30-40A or whatever. Install a second fuse at/in the Anderson plug for the the fridge cable.

Ok. I'm confused...
A slight change of plans.
What I'm trying to do is run a cable (size ?) from my fuse block with the other end to have a double Anderson plug. One will power the fridge (1st pic ) and the other one of those little 12v ovens (2nd pic). I will cut off the cig plug and replace it with a Anderson and have a inline fuse (10 amp). I believe that the oven draws 6 or 7 amps.
So when both are on 11 amps would be the most if the fridge draws 3-4.
Fuse block fuse will be 15 amp, what size cable ??? Length would be between 1.5 - 2 metres.
Thanks.

This table may be of some interest.

Yep, and this one as well for referencevolt drop table.JPG
I would be running a larger single to the back for a Narva Fuse Block (Fused Distribution Block) this would give you bulk power to the back for all and everything then smaller fused circuits to each of your appliances. This makes fusing for different loads very very simple.

I've got one of those ovens , they come with a 15 amp fuse , they draw around 13-15 amp for about 20 sec when first plugged in , and settle to around 6-7 after that , great little oven for the price .

I get what your saying, but I will have a inline fuse for each appliance. Fridge 10 amp and after reading gaddy post the oven will have a 15 amp if it blows I'll replace with a 20, all with 4 mm cable.Thanks for that info.

All done.
I did take everything on board and this is what it ended up with. Remember that I have my aux battery behind one of the rear draws and the fuse block just above that, bolted to the back of the cage.
8 gauge wire + to the fuse block and - to the battery, other end Anderson plug this pops up under the fridge, Jaycar had a pre made piggyback which was cheaper than making one, so one end goes to the fridge and the other will get bolted to the handbrake cover for the oven. The oven itself now has 4 mm wire, 15 amp inline fuse and an Anderson plug. The fridge has 10 amp and the fuse block has a 15 amp. Little test and nothing blow up. The oven seemed to heat up much quicker. The real test will be once these restrictions are lifted and we get out and about again.
Thanks for all the help.
First time making up and Anderson plug wasn't difficult at all.
