SmartWire from Windy City Wire is high-performance, low-voltage cabling crafted to enhance efficiency and streamline the installation process for industry professionals.SmartWire is part of our complete solution, and unlike traditional cabling systems SmartWire integrates features that simplify installation tasks and reduce labor costs, making it a preferred choice for low-voltage installers and technicians.

Key Features of SmartWire

FastFIND Footage Markers

In the industry, it's common to experience a variance of up to 20% on spools, meaning you might pay for 1000 feet but end up with an estimated amount that often falls several feet short. However, at Windy City Wire, we ensure that every spool we sell is exactly 1000 feet, thanks to our FastFIND Footage Markers. One of the standout features of our SmartWire is these FastFIND Footage Markers, which provide installers with ascending and descending sequential foot markings. This allows for easy calculation of point-to-point lengths, ensuring you get exactly what you pay for. With SmartWire, you can minimize waste by pulling precisely the amount of cable needed for a job, reducing unnecessary excess. This feature helps reduce product waste by up to 25%, ensuring that every foot of cable is utilized effectively.

SmartWire Glide Technology

Another key advantage of SmartWire is the SmartWire Glide Technology, a low-viscosity lubricant that coats the cable, reducing pulling friction by up to 70%. This feature significantly eases the process of pulling cables through tight spaces, making installations less physically demanding and more time efficient. The inclusion of Glidelubricationon all stock SmartWire cables at no additional cost underscores Windy City Wire's commitment to providing value in every box.

Large Selection for Jacket Color and Stripe Options

Our extensive selection of jacket colors and stripe options enables the creation of distinct wiring schemes, making it easier to identify and organize cables on job sites. This variety is especially useful in projects involving multiple teams, as it helps avoid confusion and ensures accurate cable identification.

By offering a broad palette of colors and stripes, SmartWire enhances the efficiency of installations and maintenance. It allows teams to quickly pinpoint specific cables, reducing downtime and streamlining workflow. Plus, the vibrant colors and clear stripes add a professional touch to any project, showcasing attention to detail and quality. With SmartWire, you get the perfect blend of functionality and aesthetic appeal, tailored to meet the demands of any job site.

SmartWire in RackPacks

SmartWire is packaged in RackPacks, which are part of Windy City Wire's comprehensive cable management solution. The RackPackcarton ensures that cables are protected during transport and storage, and they allow for easy mobility on job sites with their compatible transport devices. Although the RackPackField Systems Solutionis integral to the SmartWire experience, the focus here is on how SmartWire itself enhances installation efficiency.

Why SmartWire is Essential for Your Projects

SmartWire offers significant benefits for low voltage installers by streamlining the installation process, which reduces labor hours and translates into cost savings on projects. This efficiency is vital for professionals who work under tight deadlines and need reliable solutions that do not compromise on quality. By reducing the physical demands of cable installation and enhancing time management, SmartWire contributes to the overall success of low-voltage projects.
