Building Automation SmartWire® from Windy City Wire
For building automation systems, reliable control wiring is critical to schedules, commissioning, and long-term performance. Windy City Wire manufactures low-voltage SmartWire cable in the United States for commercial and industrial environments—designed for HVAC controls, BAS devices, sensors, relays, actuators, and control panels. Our product lineup focuses on practical jobsite efficiencies, consistent quality, and options that help standardize installations across your portfolio.
SmartWire cable works within our complete solution to improve safety and efficiency while helping reduce labor on every project. It comes standard with SmartWire Glide Technology® lubrication, which reduces friction during pulls by up to 70% for faster installation and fewer re-pulls—without residue you can feel on the jacket.
Every SmartWire cable also includes FastFIND Footage Markers—bold, sequential footage indicators that appear every two feet and are available in ascending or descending formats. They help crews measure point-to-point runs quickly, know exactly how much cable remains in the box, verify ordered footage, and reduce indiscriminate waste by 15–25%.
Windy City Wire also supports organizational color standards. SmartWire cables are available in a wide range of jacket and stripe color combinations, and custom color requests can be accommodated to help your team identify circuits and reduce troubleshooting time across jobs. Contact our team to discuss standardization or custom requests.

Building Automation Cables for Commercial and Industrial Facilities
Windy City Wire supplies low-voltage building wire designed for the demands of modern Building Automation Systems (BAS). With 600‑volt rated THHN, TFFN, and TFN constructions available across multiple gauges and configurations, these cables support reliable control, signal, and power-limited circuits throughout commercial and industrial environments. Options include single conductors as well as twisted pairs, triads, and quads, in both solid and stranded constructions to match installation preferences and project specifications.

Available in 12, 14, 16, and 18 AWG options to match your building automation requirements.
In addition to standard options, SmartWire is available in a wide range of jacket/stripe color combinations to simplify identification: Black/Red, Orange/Gray, Blue/Orange, Purple/Gray, Black/White, Black/Blue, Purple/Yellow, Orange/Yellow, Blue/Yellow, Black/Brown, Red/Yellow, Black/Orange, Black/Violet, Black/Yellow, Red/White, Yellow/Brown, Yellow/Blue, Orange/Brown, Black/White/Red, Yellow/Blue/Orange, Red/Orange/Yellow, Black/White/Red/Green. Custom jacket and stripe colors can also be manufactured to standardize your installations—contact Windy City Wire to discuss.
Both are available. SmartWire Building Wire is offered in solid and stranded constructions, including 19‑strand options in 12–16 AWG and 7‑strand options in 18 AWG, depending on the specific part and insulation type.
Windy City Wire manufactures and stocks SmartWire Building Wire in 1,000 ft lengths as our standard. Additional lengths are also available, including 500 ft, 2,000 ft, 2,500 ft, and 10,500 ft options.
Yes. Our THHN SmartWire is dual‑rated THHN/THWN for use in wet locations.
Yes. These SmartWire Building Wire options are rated for 600 volts.
• TFFN: Thin-wall flexible fixture wire with a nylon jacket; generally used where flexibility is needed in dry locations.
• TFN: Thin-wall fixture wire with nylon; solid conductor versions are common for control and building wire in dry locations.
• THHN: Thermoplastic high-heat, nylon-jacketed building wire; dual‑rated THHN/THWN for dry and wet locations. THHN variants provide broader environmental suitability while maintaining 600V ratings.
Yes. SmartWire Building Wire cables are GRII (Gasoline & Oil Resistant II) rated, offering enhanced resistance to petroleum-based fluids. This improves cable longevity, reduces jacket degradation, and supports reliable performance in demanding industrial and mechanical spaces.
Yes. We offer SmartWire Building Wire in twisted constructions, including 1 Pair options in 14, 16, and 18 AWG, as well as 18 AWG triads and quads for control and signal applications.
SmartWire Building Wire is packaged in our patented RackPack carton to maximize jobsite efficiency and labor savings. Learn more about our RackPack.
