Windy City Wire, a leading manufacturer of low-voltage wire, is proud to offer a diverse selection of SmartWire® products that serve as vital solutions for your building automation projects. Our SmartWire products are more than just standard wires; they encompass a reliable and comprehensive approach towards wiring solutions.
One of the distinguishing features of our SmartWire is the FastFIND Footage Markers. These unique markers serve as Ascending/Descending Sequential Foot Markers, printed onto the SmartWire cables, innovating the traditional method of calculating cable lengths. This remarkable feature enhances accuracy, promotes efficient utilization of cable, and significantly reduces product waste by 15-25%. More importantly, our SmartWire comes in standard 1000FT lengths, packaged in our patented RackPack carton — a commendable initiative towards maximizing labor savings and efficiencies.
The other notable feature for which our SmartWire cables are lauded is SmartWire Glide Technology®. A trademark term by Windy City Wire, it refers to the cable lubrication applied to the jackets during manufacturing. This lubrication reduces cable pulling friction by a significant up to 70%, fostering ease and efficiency. Reflecting our commitment to customization and recognizability, we offer an array of jacket and stripe colors for our SmartWire cables. This array allows for uniformity in your organisation's installations and aids in easy identification of your installed cables.
What makes our Building Automation selection worthwhile are the variety of cable constructions we offer. Here are some of the available constructions:
