    Vehicle Cable

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Vehicle Cable.
    Also known as GPT cable, this cable is often used in low-voltage applications such as battery and vehicle wiring and radios. It has one red wire and one black wire to easily identify polarity. The wires can be pulled apart for installation.

    Power up mobile devices and other electronics.
    Unlike many chargers in the market, these are high quality and reliable. All have passed strict U.S., Canadian, or European Union safety standards. Some of these chargers even have an LPS output, so if something fails inside the charger, it limits the risk of electrical shock. Most of our wall chargers also meet standards for energy efficiency when they're in-use, as well as when they're plugged in but not charging. Chargers that use switching regulation produce the stated voltage despite fluctuations in your outlet’s power and the power being drawn by your device. It also means they won’t get too hot.

    USB-C—USB-C chargers are quickly becoming the new standard, often seen on new phones and tablets. Some are USB-C Power Delivery 3.0 certified, so they charge your devices on average 3-4 times faster than standard chargers because they send more power over your cable. 18W chargers will power phones and tablets sold after 2016. 27W chargers will power small laptops. Choose chargers with an output greater than 27W to charge large laptops and other high-power devices.
    USB-A—USB-A chargers have the traditional USB connection. 5W chargers are typically used with small electronic devices such as speakers, routers, and cameras. 10.5W chargers are typically used with phones and tablets sold before 2016. 18W chargers will power phones and tablets sold after 2016. To charge large laptops and other high-power devices, use chargers with an output greater than 27W.
    Cannot Be Sold To—Chargers cannot be sold to the listed areas due to energy efficiency regulations.

    Power equipment directly from your vehicle when AC power or a generator isn’t available. These cords can run lights, diagnostic tools, pumps, small compressors, and other low-voltage devices during field work. They extend so you can use equipment away from your vehicle, then retract for storage. Designed for the outdoors, they have a weather‑resistant cable and a watertight cap to keep out moisture when not in use.

    Fusible Link Wire

    Image of Product. Side1 orientation. Vehicle Wire. Fusible Link Wire.
    Often found in older vehicles, this fusible link wire protects a circuit in applications where you can’t use a standard fuse. The conductor in the fusible link melts if there’s a short circuit or voltage spike, breaking the circuit to protect the rest of your wiring. Since the conductor needs to be thin enough to melt before the rest of your wiring overheats, choose a fusible link wire that’s four gauge sizes smaller than your circuit. If you’re replacing a fusible link that has burned out, make sure the new wire is the same length and gauge as the old one.

    Adhesive-Mount Heat Sheets

    Stick these flexible heat sheets to container surfaces to warm contents without direct contact. They require a temperature switch or controller (not included) to regulate heat output.
    Note: Do not cut, crease, or overlap these sheets—this will damage the heating element. Use a roller during installation to remove air pockets and ensure direct surface contact. Once these sheets have been applied to a surface, they cannot be removed and reused.

    5 W/in² Watt Density—Sheets with a watt density of 5 watts per square inch are good for general purpose heating.
    Adhesive Back—Adhesive-back sheets have a pressure-sensitive adhesive.

    Wrap the flexible heating element around small-diameter pipes and tubes or pack it into tight spaces. These heaters maintain a consistent heat output along the entire length of the cable, regardless of the environmental temperature. All require a temperature switch or controller to regulate heat output. They do not produce an electromagnetic field, so they can be used near electronics.
    Note: Only install these heaters in accessible locations; do not install them behind walls, underground, or in other difficult-to-access areas. Use fiberglass tape or heat-transfer putty to install them directly on surfaces that are free of dirt, grease, and rough edges. Do not use electrical tape, duct tape, metal bands, or wire. To prevent heat loss and protect heaters from moisture and corrosion, wrap them with fiberglass insulation.
    2.1 mm Plug End ID—Pair heaters with a 2.1 mm ID barrel connector with an AC adapter (not included) to power them from a standard AC wall outlet.
