AVS wire, short for "Automotive Vehicle Wire Standard," is a specialized type of electrical wiring for use in cars and trucks. It is designed to withstand the demanding conditions of vehicle environments. Key features include durable insulation materials to protect against heat, moisture, oil, and chemicals. AVS wire comes in various thicknesses (gauges) to match different electrical needs. It's color-coded for easy identification (red for power, black for ground, etc.), and it can be either flexible (stranded) or rigid (solid). Common uses include wiring harnesses, power distribution, and lighting systems in vehicles, meeting industry safety standards.
