Temperature Control Shielded Cables
Windy City Wire manufactures low-voltage SmartWire cables engineered for building automation and HVAC temperature control. In modern BAS networks that combine analog sensors with digital communications, dependable shielded control cabling is essential for stable readings and uninterrupted device communication. Our temperature control wire and cable portfolio covers plenum and non‑plenum installations, single and multi-conductor constructions, and paired and triad options to support thermostats, VAV boxes, actuators, controllers, and supervisory systems.
Whether you are running conventional control loops or integrating BACnet MS/TP and Modbus segments, our shielded constructions help reduce electrical noise and maintain signal integrity over long runs. For serial bus requirements, many customers also select from our shielded options for RS485/422 networks as well as rs 232 wire and cable connections within mechanical rooms and control panels. All products in this category are low-voltage SmartWire cables made in the United States.

Industries and environments
Why shielding matters in temperature control
Controls wiring often runs near VFDs, lighting circuits, and power feeders. Our shielded constructions—available as overall shielded and individually shielded pair options—help reject EMI/RFI and maintain stable signals for 0–10 VDC, 4–20 mA, thermistor loops, and digital communications. This can reduce nuisance noise, improve sensor accuracy, and support dependable network performance where rs-485 wire and cable or rs485 wire and cable is required.

Digital controls and BAS networking
For modern BAS trunks, choose constructions suited to RS485/422 to support BACnet MS/TP and Modbus RTU. Correct impedance, shielding, and grounding practices are essential for network reliability—especially across long runs or when parallel to power feeders. Our temperature control wire and cable options are designed to support these requirements and help you maintain consistent, verifiable performance.
Streamlining on-site workflows
Pairing these cables with our SmartWire approach can help crews organize zone runs, speed device terminations, and simplify testing and turnover across large projects—assisting with consistent results from rough-in through commissioning.
Selecting the right cable
Whether you are wiring a single air handler or an entire campus BAS, Windy City Wire provides temperature control wire and cable solutions that help deliver stable signals, straightforward installation, and code-aligned selections. Contact our team for assistance with cross-referencing a specific control platform or finalizing the best construction for your sequence of operations.
