    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.
    TXL Stranded Wire
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Vehicle Wire. Vehicle Wire, TXL Cable.
    For wiring exposed to weather and wear and tear, TXL wire has a thinner insulation, making it easy to maneuver in tight spaces.
    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.

    Keep spools of vehicle wire in multiple colors on hand.
    TXL Cable—TXL cable has a cross-linked polyethylene outer jacket that withstands higher temperatures and has more abrasion resistance than PVC outer jackets. TXL cable has thin walls, so it’s small and lightweight. It’s often used for dashboards and other car interior applications.
    SAE J1128—They meet SAE J1128 for low-voltage wiring in trucks, boats, trailers, and other vehicles.
