Temperature Control Patch Cables
Windy City Wire manufactures SmartWire® low-voltage patch cables that help temperature control contractors keep HVAC and building automation systems connected, organized, and code compliant. Built for the rigors of mechanical rooms, control panels, and above-ceiling pathways, these Cat5e patch cords deliver consistent performance for BACnet/IP, Modbus TCP, and other IP-based control networks used in temperature control systems.
Choose the flame rating your environment requires—plenum (CMP) for air-handling spaces and riser (CMR) for vertical runs and general building areas—and select from commonly used lengths to streamline panel-to-switch and controller-to-network patching. Stranded conductors and molded snagless boots provide flexibility and durability during routing and service, helping reduce downtime and rework on the jobsite.
All SmartWire patch cables are manufactured in the United States and are part of our products and solutions for low-voltage integration. SmartWire Glide lubrication is applied during manufacturing to reduce friction by up to 70%, making cable handling smoother through tight bends, trays, and congested panels—at no additional cost.
