Indoor/Outdoor Water Warrior Cables
Windy City Wire’s Indoor/Outdoor Water Warrior cables are purpose-built SmartWire low-voltage constructions for harsh and wet environments. Designed for dependable performance in control, signaling, and power-limited circuits, these outdoor wire and cable options are suitable for wet locations and help simplify installs across security, access control, fire alarm (power-limited and non–power-limited), building automation, and landscape applications.
Manufactured in the United States as part of our SmartWire product line, Water Warrior wire and cable balances durability and flexibility to handle conduit, tray, and direct-building runs where environmental exposure is a concern. Contractors and integrators choose these water resistant wire and cable constructions to reduce callbacks, standardize field practices, and maintain code compliance with UL Type TC, PLTC, FPL, or NPLF listings as applicable to the construction.
Why choose Water Warrior wire and cable for outdoor work?
Whether you’re laying a new device backbone or adding endpoints in the field, these indoor/outdoor Water Warrior cables help crews stay productive and reduce rework. If your next specification calls for dependable outdoor cable that stands up to water and exposure, our Water Warrior lineup provides an efficient, code-conscious answer.
How Windy City Wire adds value to your project

Quick use-case checklist
Specification and selection support
Choosing the right gauge and conductor count is essential for performance and code compliance. Our team can assist with voltage drop reviews, device load calculations, and submittal documentation to help you specify the correct indoor/outdoor Water Warrior solution for each run.
When your project calls for dependable outdoor cable that performs across security, controls, life safety, and campus infrastructure, Windy City Wire’s Water Warrior wire and cable delivers the versatility and wet-location confidence you need—without overcomplicating installation.
Available AWG sizes include 12 AWG, 14 AWG, 16 AWG, and 18 AWG.
Available conductor color codes: Black/Red; Black/Red/Orange/Blue; Black/Red/Blue/Orange/Yellow/Brown.
They are manufactured with stranded bare copper conductors for flexible, durable indoor/outdoor pulls and reliable terminations.
1,000 ft per item is the standard. At Windy City Wire we manufacture and stock SmartWire Outdoor wire wire in 1,000ft length as our standard length.
They are packaged in our patented RackPack carton for safer handling and faster installs. Learn more about our RackPack: https://windycitywire.com/solutions/rackpack-overview
RG6 uses a thicker center conductor and dielectric than RG59, providing lower signal loss and better high‑frequency performance—ideal for CATV, satellite, and broadband over longer runs. RG59 is thinner, has higher attenuation, and is best for shorter baseband video runs (e.g., analog CCTV). Shielding levels vary by construction, but RG6 generally offers stronger shielding options.
BACnet is a building automation protocol; when run as BACnet MS/TP it rides on an RS485 physical layer using twisted pair and supports multi‑drop networks. RS232 is single‑ended, point‑to‑point, and suitable for short distances with limited noise immunity. RS485 is balanced differential, supports multi‑drop bus topologies, enables much longer distances at lower data rates, and relies on twisted pair with proper impedance for noise rejection.
