All connectors, seals and terminals shown throughout this document have
been specified to suit the SAE J1128 GXL or TXL cabling standard. If other
wiring standards are to be used the following points must be considered.
• Cable Insulation Outside Diameter
• Cable Conductor Cross Sectional Area (CSA)
• Temperature Exposure
• Abrasion Risk
To ensure all of the above points are taken into consideration please consult
the manufacturers cable specification.
5.7.1 Wire Thickness Overview
The following sections provide some guidance on the differences in min/max
cable thickness for some of the most popular wiring standards.
5.7.1.1 SAE J1128 GXL
GXL cable is the recommended cable size for the connector system used.
Using this cable with the specified wire seals and terminals (where
appropriate) will result in the correct sealing of the electrical system.
