What is SmartKIT? A Quick Tour

By Windy City Wire
August 04, 2026

If you manage low-voltage projects, you know the pain: multiple POs, missed parts, and too many last‑minute store runs. SmartKITS from Windy City Wire solve that by bundling everything your crew needs into organized, job‑ready kits—ordered once and delivered complete.  

 

What is SmartKIT? 

SmartKITS are custom, pre‑assembled project kits built for Pro A/V contractors and integrators, bundling small AV parts—connectors, adapters, plates, patch cords, and hardware into one organized delivery. These kits package premade patch cables, connectivity, hardware, tools, and consumables into a single, organized delivery, so you can place one PO and get it all. Each kit is verified, sealed with a security sticker, and shipped to your warehouse or job site.

What’s Inside? 

SmartKIT includes everything aligned to the task—cable, connectors, mounting hardware, labeling supplies, and the “little things” that usually cause delays for low-voltage work across AV and structured cabling. 

Typical kit materials may include: 

  • Camera drop kit (camera, bracket/j-box, connectors, whip, mounting hardware)  

  • WAP kit (mount, plate, PoE injector if needed, keystones, patch cords)  

  • Rack build kit (cable managers, PDU, patch panels, shelves, labels)  

Kits can also be organized by phase, floor, zone, room, or device type to match your install workflow.  

How it works 

  1. Log in and build: Use Your SmartKits, Company SmartKits, or Create SmartKits to assemble kits from a broad catalog—or ask your rep to add items you need. Save, duplicate, and share across the team.  

  1. One order: Add kit quantities and place a single purchase order 

  1. Receive ready-to-install: WCW pulls parts, verifies counts, seals each kit, and ships where and when you need them. 

 

Get started 

Sign in or sign up to build your first kit—or ask your WCW rep to help template by device, room, or phase. Then order once and get it all.
