SXL Automotive Primary Wire

SXL wire is a type of automotive primary wire. It contains a bare copper conductor that is rated for 50 volts and a Cross-Linked Polyethylene (XLPE) insulation that provides a temperature rating of -51°C to 125°C. At Allied Wire & Cable, we carry SXL in sizes ranging from 8 AWG to 20 AWG. Since SXL wire can handle high heat, it is rated by SAE J-1128 to be used in engine compartments. It also meets the specifications to be used for Ford and Chrysler vehicles. We provide multiple value-added services for SXL wire including custom printing, striping, twisting, cutting and stripping.
