The SmartWire® 16 AWG and 14 AWG Fire Alarm Combo Cable by Windy City Wire is an advanced solution designed to ensure safety and efficiency in fire alarm systems. Combining the reliability of two differently gauged conductors, this low-voltage wire meets the stringent requirements for fire alarm applications, offering a versatile and secure option for installations.

This fire alarm cable features a combination of a 16 AWG two-conductor bare copper shielded plenum wire and a 14 AWG two-conductor bare copper non-shielded plenum wire. The plenum rating ensures that this cable is suitable for installation in spaces used for environmental air, such as ducts and plenums, enhancing safety in emergency scenarios. The inclusion of an aluminum metal clad exterior adds a durable layer of protection, making it ideal for environments that demand robust physical integrity.

SmartWire cables also offer unique identifying marks and colors to facilitate installation and increase efficiency. The 16 AWG conductors are designed with an O/A shield and a distinctive red jacket with a blue stripe, while the 14 AWG conductors are unshielded with a simple red jacket. These color codes enhance the identification process, ensuring that each cable is easily recognizable, which is vital for prompt and accurate installation in critical safety systems.

Windy City Wire's SmartWire is packaged in our RackPack patented carton to deliver savings in labor and efficiencies. The FastFIND Footage Markers on each cable ensure reliable footage measurements, reducing waste by allowing users to calculate cable lengths more accurately, and ensuring every foot of your 1,000 FT spool is fully utilized. Our SmartWire is further enhanced by the application of SmartWire Glide Technology®, reducing friction during installation by up to 70%, ensuring a smoother, faster pull.

This cable is a preferred choice for a variety of fire safety applications such as fire alarm systems and life safety control systems, among others. Engineered to be a reliable solution in carrying critical signals where it's needed most, this SmartWire cable embodies the commitment to safety and efficiency that Windy City Wire is known for.
