Temperature Control Multi-Pair Plenum Cables for Building Automation and HVAC
Windy City Wire Temperature Control Multi-Pair Plenum Cables are built for today’s building automation and HVAC control environments. Designed for reliable signal integrity in plenum air spaces, these cables support a wide range of Temperature Control applications, from sensor loops and actuator control to controller-to-controller communications. Whether your project is new construction or a retrofit, our temperature control wire and cable helps simplify design, installation, and long-term service across commercial and industrial facilities.
Where these cables fit in your system
Compatible with leading Temp Control platforms
Our multi-pair plenum constructions align with wiring practices used by many leading Temperature Control and BAS platforms, including Trane, Honeywell, Alerton, Johnson Controls, Siemens, Schneider Electric, Carrier, Automated Logic, Delta Controls, Distech, KMC, and systems built on Tridium Niagara. For BAS communications (e.g., BACnet MS/TP) and device wiring, the available pair counts and shielding options make it straightforward to match device and network requirements without overbuilding the run.
Key advantages for BAS installers and facility teams
Optimized for real-world BAS communications
Many projects rely on multi-pair runs to simplify routing and reduce the number of separate pulls in crowded pathways. Selecting the appropriate EPS or Non-Shielded construction helps support stable communications for common BAS protocols and supervisory links while keeping analog and digital I/O organized. When a specification calls for a Comm Cable to handle multiple signals to the same device or panel, a multi-pair plenum cable can streamline both installation and documentation.

Why multi-pair plenum for Temp Control?
Using a single, organized temperature control wire for multiple signals can reduce total pathway fills, simplify labeling, and streamline commissioning. For installers, that means fewer pulls and cleaner panels; for owners, it supports easier service and scalability as systems evolve. In many projects, this approach eliminates additional runs and helps maintain signal quality for both analog and digital points.
