Hello
I would like to know the specs of the txl and spec 55 cable. what type of material does the cable consist of? Are the cable tinned or not? I find it difficult to find the right cable because few write specs on the products on Swedish websites. Any supplier in Europe that you can recommend?

Hi!
Farnell, Elfa Distrelec and RS-Components sell pretty much everything. TXL is easy to get, but the M22759/32 is harder to get, but the 3 I mentioned has them.
TXL is a general purpose automotive wire, the conductors are bare copper, the polyethylene insulation is rated to 125°C.
"Spec 55" covers a range of different wire standards, the conductors can be either copper or a higher strength copper alloy, it is plated with either Tin, Nickel or Silver and the ETFE insulation is rated to 150 or 200°C depending on which specific standard you go for.
M22759/32 is one of the spec 55 grades that is common in motorsport, it is Tin plated copper, 150°C temp rating.
Here's some of the common single wall Spec 55 wires:
