TXL and GXL both consist of multi-stranded bare copper core conductors, cross linked polyethylene (XLPE), and a temperature rating of -59°F (-51°C) to 257°F (125°C). Both wires also meet their own separate specifications ratings of SAE, Ford and Chrysler.
The two most noticeable differences between the two wires is their
differences in weight and wall thickness. Out of the two wires, TXL is lighter due to its more lightweight and "extra-thin"
outer wall whereas GXL is
slightly heavier because of its slightly thicker outer wall insulation.
TXL Wire:
TXL wire is an extra-thin wall automotive primary wire. TXL comes multi-stranded as a single-conductor and is used commonly used in applications where high heat resistance is a requirement such as engine compartments, boats, tractors, buses, trucks, instrument panels, interiors and a wide variety of other applications. TXL wire suggested use is in applications where small diameter and minimal weight is desired. TXL automotive primary wire is rated to SAE J-1128, Ford (M1L-123A) and Chrysler (MS-8288) specifications.
GXL Wire:
GXL wire is a thin
wall automotive primary wire. GXL comes multi-stranded as a
single-conductor and is commonly used in applications where high heat
resistance is a requirement. These environments include engine
compartments, boats, tractors, buses, trucks and a wide variety of other
applications. GXL automotive primary wire is rated to SAE J-1128, Ford
(M1L-85B) and Chrysler (MS-8900) specifications.
