    About Wire and Cable
    industrial info icon

    Compare wire vs. cable and choose the right option based on gauge, number of conductors, insulation, and current rating.

    Vehicle Wire

    Originally designed to meet the quality standards of the auto industry, this wire withstands high temperatures, flames, and abrasion. You'll often hear it referred to as primary wire in trucks, trailers, forklifts, and other vehicles.
    GXL Stranded Wire

    For wiring exposed to weather and wear and tear, GXL wire is the standard choice, as it balances flexibility and abrasion-resistance.
    Cross-Linked Polyethylene Outer Jacket—For wiring exposed to weather and wear and tear, choose a wire with a cross-linked polyethylene outer jacket.
    SAE J1128—Unlike other low-voltage wires, this wire meets strict SAE performance requirements.
