Wire Type	Information
M22759/16	M22759/16 is our highest quality wire offering. It was designed for use in aerospace environments but is popular in many other applications due to its quality and ease of marking. Marking on this wire will yield a very good contrast and great readbility. This wire has an ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) or Tefzel insulation. It has excellent thermal and chemical resistances.
TXL	TXL wire is our most affordable option. It is most commonly used in the automotive field. Marking on most colors and gauges of this wire will yield good contrast, but not all will produce highly readable results. This wire has a thin wall crosslinked-Poluethylene (XLPE) insulation. It has good thermal and chemical resistances.
Tefzel Shielded Multiconductor Cable	We carry multiple options for conductor count of shielded tefzel cable. Marking on this wire will yield a good contrast and great readbility. This wire has an ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) or Tefzel insulation. It has excellent thermal and chemical resistances.

Our Capabilities

The YourSpec Wiring Project Manager allows you to configure unique marking settings for every wire in your project.

Our Technology

Our wire marker uses a pulsed UV laser to create precise wire markings. See details below per wire type.

Milspec Wire

The marking is created when the laser interacts with titanium dioxide in the wire insulation - the laser changes the wire color while leaving the insulation fully intact. This is the optimal marking process that will result in the highest quality markings with the most readable contrast.
This marking process is compatible with multiple milspec and aerospace standards.

TXL Wire

The laser works by etching the marking in the wire insulation. This will yield markings of highly readable contrast on most gauges and colors, but some may be suboptimal. If you have selected marking in your project on one of these wires you will receive a warning. It is also recommended to view the wire marking sample table below.

Marking Samples

Below is a sample of marking on our offered wire. Exact results may vary depending on manufacturer deviation. We are constantly looking to optimize our marking capability with our wire manufacturer selection. (click any image to open it in a larger window)

Our technology

YourSpec's high-quality, automated rotary strippers precisley grip and spin around wire with blades to remove the insulation while avoiding contact with the conductor.
Our wire strippers are calibrated to avoid grip marks wherever possible but some wire may show small grip marks near the end of the wire.

MilSpec wire

YourSpec's rotary wire strippers have conductor contact detection enabled to detect if the blade touches the wire. All wire that is touched by a blade is discarded.

Shielded and multi-conductor wire

YourSpec allows you to set the strip parameters of the outer cable as well as the inner conductors.
A minimum difference of 5mm between the outer strip length and inner strip length is enforced to ensure our equipment can process your project.
If shielding is present it will be mechanically debraided and twisted.

Wire Stripping Terms

Strip length: Length of insulation removed from wire.
Strip tail: The remove insulation is referred to as the strip tail. The strip tail is purposely left on the end of the conductors to protect them from fraying. The strip tail can easily be removed with a light pull.

Additional Information

If using a pin, the strip length will be processed accordingly to the recommended strip length from the manufacturer.
