ProAV Low-Voltage Cabling Built for Commercial Performance
Windy City Wire manufactures SmartWire low-voltage cabling in the United States to meet the demands of professional audiovisual systems. Whether you are distributing 4k content over IP, extending control signals, or building out networked AV backbones, our ProAV bulk cabling gives integrators a dependable, job-ready option. Use it as your go-to pro av cable for switch-to-endpoint runs, in-room infrastructure, and headend connections where consistent performance and time-saving handling matter.
Engineered for commercial and industrial environments, these Category 6 constructions deliver stable bandwidth for AV over IP and digital signage while maintaining clean terminations and reliable pulls. Each option is part of our SmartWire product family and includes SmartWire Glide lubrication applied during manufacturing to reduce friction during pulls by up to 70%, helping crews move faster with fewer re-pulls.
These bulk data runs terminate cleanly into jacks, keystones, and patch panels, and can be field-terminated to create cat6 patch cable assemblies when needed. They also complement our other low-voltage categories, including speaker cables, to deliver a complete, unified backbone for digital media systems. If you’re building out digital signage, AV over IP, or control networks, this digital media cable wire family offers dependable signal integrity from headend to endpoint.
