What is GPT Wire?
GPT wire is a general-purpose primary wire used in automotive and low-voltage electrical systems. Its PVC insulation provides excellent resistance to abrasion, oils, chemicals, and moisture, making it suitable for environments where reliability is essential. When customers search “what is GPT wire”, the answer is simple: it’s a flexible, durable wire used in 12V and 24V automotive circuits, trailers, lighting, and equipment wiring. GPT wire offers an affordable and dependable solution for a wide range of electrical applications.
GPT Wire Specs and Performance
Our GPT wire specs include a 60-volt rating, temperature resistance up to 85°C, flexible stranded copper conductors, and durable PVC insulation. This construction makes GPT automotive wire ideal for general electrical circuits that don’t require high-heat performance.
GPT vs. GXL Wire
When comparing GPT vs. GXL wire, the key difference is temperature and durability. GPT wire is a cost-effective choice for standard automotive circuits, rated for 85°C with flexible PVC insulation suited for everyday wiring needs. GXL wire, on the other hand, is rated for higher temperatures (up to 125°C) and uses a cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation that offers greater abrasion and heat resistance. For general repairs and low-voltage vehicles, GPT cable is ideal, while GXL is preferred for harsh environments, under-hood applications, and more demanding electrical systems.
