Outdoor COMPOSITE | Outdoor Water Warrior Wet Location Cables
Windy City Wire’s Outdoor Water Warrior wet-location composite constructions are purpose-built for exterior security and low-voltage control at the building envelope and across the site. By combining power and data under a single jacket, this outdoor cable streamlines design and installation, reduces conduit fills, and helps ensure dependable performance in damp and wet environments. If you need outdoor wire and cable that stands up to moisture while supporting modern security and control protocols, our Water Warrior wire and cable line delivers a practical, job-ready solution for commercial and industrial projects.
Who uses these cables
Security integrators, electrical contractors, facility teams, and OEMs rely on these indoor/outdoor Water Warrior cables to standardize exterior openings, gates, and remote enclosures—simplifying pulls, terminations, and long-term maintenance across campuses and multi-site portfolios.
Built for exterior access control and perimeter systems
These composite constructions are engineered to support a complete door or gate opening with one pull. Typical configurations combine 18 AWG power conductors for electrified hardware with multiple 22 AWG shielded data pairs for credential readers and supervision—all within a single, wet-location rated outdoor cable. This makes it well-suited for:
Broader outdoor low-voltage applications
Integration and signal compatibility
Outdoor Water Warrior wet-location composite designs support the mix of power and signaling commonly required at exterior openings and field devices:
Performance in wet and noisy environments
For runs in outdoor conduit, exposed transition areas, or damp/wet enclosures, choose the shielding and construction that best matches the site conditions:
Design details that save time in the field
Lengths and options
To align with project staging and site size, cables are available in multiple lengths: 500 FT and 1000 FT. Select from available shielding types—OAS, UNS, and WBT—to match noise and moisture exposure. Typical composite configurations include 18‑4 for hardware power and 22 AWG multi‑pair for reader and control signaling, giving you the right balance of power delivery and data fidelity in a single outdoor cable.

Why spec Windy City Wire for outdoor openings
Our Outdoor Water Warrior wire and cable portfolio focuses on practical jobsite gains: fewer cable pulls, dependable wet‑location performance, and clear conductor identification for clean terminations. For security integrators and electrical contractors, that means faster installations, consistent results across sites, and easier service over the life of the system. When the scope calls for rugged outdoor wire and cable that supports both power and data at the edge, Outdoor Water Warrior wet‑location composite cables are a straightforward choice.

They are made with stranded copper conductors for flexibility and durability in outdoor, wet-location installations. Shielding options vary by construction and include OAS, UNS, and WBT.
Windy City Wire manufactures and stocks SmartWire Outdoor wire in 1,000 ft length as our standard length. Select items in this category are also available in 500 ft lengths.
Our SmartWire Outdoor wire is packaged in our patented RackPack carton to streamline pulling and installation. Learn more about our RackPack: https://windycitywire.com/solutions/rackpack-overview
Both are 75-ohm coax, but RG6 has a larger center conductor and dielectric, providing lower attenuation and better performance at higher frequencies and longer runs (often up to satellite/cable bands). RG59 has a smaller conductor, is more flexible, and is commonly used for baseband video/CCTV over shorter distances. RG6 typically features heavier shielding options (e.g., quad shield) for improved noise rejection.
RS-232 is single-ended, point-to-point, and best for short runs; it typically uses multi-conductor cable and does not support multi-drop networks. RS-485 is differential, supports multi-drop (bus) networks, favors a 120-ohm shielded twisted pair, and reaches much longer distances at lower data rates. BACnet MS/TP commonly runs on RS-485 physical layer cabling (shielded twisted pair), while BACnet/IP uses Ethernet cabling; select the cable based on the BACnet transport your system requires.
