What are other common types of automotive wire and cable and what kinds of applications are they used for?
Aside from the automotive primary wire and battery cable mentioned above, Trailer cable, automotive brake cable, ignition wire, fusible link wire and SRML wire (high temperature motor lead wire) are all considered automotive wire and cable. Trailer cable can be used on trailers and trucks as well as in other applications where resistance to weather, oil, and grease is necessary. SRML wire is flexible and fire resistant and can be used as motor lead wire or as lead wire for high temperature electrical equipment applications. Automotive brake cable is used for electric brakes in cars, trucks, and trailers. Common applications for primary wire include general circuit wiring and wiring in engine compartments while battery cable is intended for use in starters and battery ground circuits. Speaker cable is designed for use in radios, music systems, public address systems, and other low voltage applications.
