TXL Wire

So, what does TXL stand for? TXL (thin-wall cross-linked) wire is a stranded, single-conductor copper wire with cross-linked polyethylene insulation. Due to its extra-thin wall, this wire is low-weight and has a small insulation thickness. TXL wire has a temperature rating of -51°C to +125°C, making it ideal for automotive applications that require high heat and extreme cold reliability. Due to its high durability, TXL wire is optimal for engine compartments and other applications requiring a lightweight wire of a small diameter. It is rated to SAE J-1128, Ford (M1L-123A), and Chrysler (MS-8288) standards.

If you have an automotive application that requires TXL automotive wire with more than the standard specifications, Allied Wire and Cable can help. If you are looking for a cable that requires more power or different colors, look no further. No customization is too big or too small for our custom cable experts. As a leading custom cable manufacturer, our experts are able to work closely with customers to design and manufacture custom TXL cable specification wires, ensuring they perfectly match the needs of their application.
