DAS Solutions — Distributed Antenna Systems
Windy City Wire manufactures SmartWire low-voltage coaxial cables and supplies complementary accessories that help RF integrators design and install reliable in-building Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) with confidence. Our plenum-rated, low-loss 1/2 inch air dielectric coax options deliver consistent RF performance for cellular DAS and public safety radio (ERRCS) by combining complete shielding, excellent intermodulation characteristics, and code-driven CMP plenum compliance. Pair these feedlines with our purpose-fit connectors and hardware to streamline deployment from headend to antenna.
Every SmartWire DAS cable is built for dependable signal integrity in challenging environments. Standard 1,000 ft spools support long plenum runs, with select items also available in 500 ft lengths. SmartWire Glide lubrication is applied to the jacket during manufacturing to reduce pulling friction by up to 70%, helping crews install faster and with fewer re-pulls. To simplify cable identification across large venues, SmartWire can be ordered with custom jacket and stripe color combinations that align with your company standards or system design.
Available lengths: 1,000 ft standard; select SKUs also in 500 ft.

Why Windy City Wire for DAS
Get Started
Discuss your DAS design, frequency plan, pathway constraints, and AHJ requirements with our team. We will help you select the appropriate 1/2" plenum‑rated low‑loss coaxial construction, compatible connectors, and field accessories to streamline installation and deliver reliable in‑building wireless coverage.
We offer 1/2" low-loss air dielectric coax in plenum-rated CMP constructions designed for in‑building DAS, including:
- 1/2" aluminum plenum-rated low-loss air dielectric coax with SmartGuard™ technology
- 1/2" copper plenum-rated low-loss air dielectric coax with SmartGuard™ technology
- CELLFLEX® 1/2" low-loss flexible coax
Performance highlights: supports multiple RF signals, complete RFI/EMI shielding with solid outer conductor, outstanding intermodulation performance, and UV rating for indoor plenum spaces with suitability for outdoor runs. Shielding options in the portfolio include corrugated aluminum; select accessory items are non-shielded. Lengths: 1000 ft standard, also available in 500 ft. For easier pulls, SmartWire Glide lubrication reduces friction by up to 70%.
Available jacket colors include Black, Red, and White. Custom jacket and stripe colors can be produced to standardize your installations—contact Windy City Wire for details.
Yes, we stock 1/2" coax for all survivability requirements, including plenum-rated CMP options acceptable as a metal raceway alternative per NFPA 72 (section 12.4.2).
Windy City Wire is proud to partner with companies like RFS, ADRF, Westell, iBwave, GWave, RFI and others. Additional partner information can be found at https://windycitywire.com/resource-cetner/das
No. DAS cables cannot be RackPacked, as these spools are large and not conducive to use with the SmartWire RackPack solution.
No. The spools are much larger than the RackPack boxes and transportation devices.
