Security & Access Control Shielded Outdoor Water Warrior Wet Location | Non‑Plenum SmartWire
Windy City Wire supplies low‑voltage Security & Access Control cable built for outdoor and wet‑location environments where reliability matters. Our SmartWire cables in this category combine water‑blocking construction with shielded performance to help protect critical access control signals from moisture intrusion and electrical noise. For commercial and industrial projects—door controllers, card readers, mag locks, request‑to‑exit devices, and alarm loops—these shielded, non‑plenum cables deliver consistent performance in demanding conditions.
Each SmartWire cable is manufactured in the United States and designed as part of our broader solutions approach to help integrators and electrical contractors work efficiently. SmartWire Glide lubrication is applied during manufacturing to reduce pull friction by up to 70%, supporting smoother pulls through conduit and across long outdoor runs. The result: fewer re‑pulls, cleaner terminations, and dependable system uptime for your next security installation.

Why choose Windy City Wire for security and access control cable
When your project calls for shielded, non‑plenum outdoor cable for security and access control, SmartWire from Windy City Wire provides a dependable, low‑voltage solution designed to perform in wet locations while helping your team install efficiently.
Security & Access Control Shielded Outdoor Water Warrior® Wet Location | Non‑Plenum Cables
Windy City Wire’s shielded, outdoor, wet‑location access control cables are built for reliable low‑voltage performance where moisture, temperature swings, and electrical noise are part of the job. This non‑plenum family combines an overall foil shield for noise mitigation with our Water Warrior® wet‑location protection to help block moisture migration in conduits, garages, gates, and other exposed environments. The result is consistent signal integrity for security and access devices across demanding commercial and industrial sites.

Have a specific device list, protocol mix (Wiegand, OSDP, RS‑485), or site conditions to consider? Our team can help match conductor count and cable specification to your project requirements.
22 AWG conductors are available, offered in 4- or 6-conductor configurations.
Conductor identification color options include: Black/Red/White/Green (4-conductor) and Black/Red/White/Green/Brown/Blue (6-conductor).
It is constructed with stranded, bare copper conductors for flexibility and durability in security and wet-location installations.
At Windy City Wire, we manufacture and stock SmartWire Security & Access Control cable in a 1,000 ft length as our standard. Select items are also available in 500 ft lengths.
BACnet typically runs over RS-485 (BACnet MS/TP) or Ethernet; for MS/TP, a shielded, balanced twisted pair with ~120-ohm impedance is preferred, supporting multi-drop networks over long distances. RS-232 is an unbalanced, point-to-point interface (TX/RX/GND) designed for short runs (often under 50–100 ft) and does not support multi-drop. RS-485 is a balanced differential bus using a twisted pair, supports multi-drop (many devices on one run), longer distances (up to thousands of feet), and benefits from termination and shielding to reduce noise.
