Phillips Cable SAE GPT Primary Wire is a professional-grade, single-conductor electrical wire engineered for general-purpose low-voltage wiring across automotive, marine, RV, and powersports applications. Built to SAE Type GPT (General Purpose Thermoplastic) standards and fully compliant with SAE J1128, this wire line is a trusted solution for OEM technicians, marine electricians, fleet maintenance professionals, and experienced DIYers who demand consistent, reliable electrical performance in real-world conditions.
The stranded soft annealed copper conductor construction delivers outstanding flexibility, making this wire easy to route through tight chassis runs, around corners, through grommets, and along complex hull or firewall paths without compromising conductivity or current-carrying capacity. The smooth, concentric PVC jacket strips cleanly and slides easily through loom or conduit, while offering meaningful resistance to abrasion, grease, oil, acids, and fuels — making it well-suited for engine bays, bilge areas, and exposed outdoor enclosures.
Key Features:
- SAE J1128 GPT Certified — Meets SAE International's standard for low-voltage primary cable, rated for use in both OEM and aftermarket electrical applications
