Pro A/V Plenum Composite Cables from Windy City Wire
Windy City Wire manufactures SmartWire® low-voltage composite cables designed for professional audio-visual environments where performance, code compliance, and installation efficiency matter. Our 2‑element, shielded, plenum composite construction supports clean signal delivery and reliable control in conference rooms, classrooms, auditoriums, hospitality spaces, and production facilities. If you need a pro av cable that simplifies design and installation while maintaining signal integrity in demanding commercial spaces, this category is built for that purpose.
Built for control, reliability, and plenum spaces
These shielded, low-voltage composites are engineered for use in environmental air spaces and other plenum-rated pathways. The 2‑element design streamlines pulls and consolidates terminations for common Pro A/V use cases such as control triggers, device power-limited control circuits, and balanced low-noise signal paths. The overall shield helps reduce interference from lighting, motors, and RF sources, supporting clearer audio and more dependable device communication.
Control system friendly
Whether you are tying displays, DSPs, projectors, or switchers into a centralized control system, this composite format provides an organized pathway for control and low-voltage signaling. It works well alongside infrastructure for lighting control and shade control and is a strong fit for systems that include axlink amx systems universal control. Integrators can route fewer cables with less rack and pathway congestion while maintaining the flexibility to accommodate future device changes.
SmartWire manufacturing advantages
All SmartWire cables are manufactured in the United States and are exclusively low-voltage. Every cable comes standard with SmartWire Glide lubrication, which coats the jacket during manufacturing to reduce friction by up to 70% during pulls. The result is faster installation, fewer snags, and less rework—especially helpful on long runs or congested conduits commonly found in Pro A/V retrofits and tenant improvements.
Color coding and identification
To help standardize installations and speed terminations, available conductor jacket color codes for this category include Black/Red and Blue/White. Organizations looking to further streamline serviceability and brand consistency can contact Windy City Wire about custom jacket and stripe color options across the SmartWire product family.
Length options
Standard put-up is 1000 FT. For projects that require smaller quantities, 250 FT lengths are also available.
