Description
Thermostat Wire, 18/2C through 18/8C, 250 ft. and 500 ft.
Our Thermostat Wire is a Class 2, power-limited circuit cable, manufactured for use in thermostat control applications that are commercial and/or residential, highly comparable to both Honeywell and Southwire. Thermostat Wire is often utilized for low-voltage applications, such as thermostat controls or HVAC equipment. The identifiable riser-rated brown jacket both resists moisture and repels harsh UV rays from the sun, furthering the overall capabilities of this product when implemented within both indoor/outdoor sites. Moreover, the conductors inside are color-coded to meet specific and established functions.
Thermostat Wire to Fit Your Application
When regarding the variations of Thermostat Wire offered, keep in mind that not all thermostats are alike. More traditional thermostats may require five strands or less; however, smart thermostats, such as Nest thermostats, being implemented within both residential and commercial areas, demand additional modes of accessing and directing electrical currents, what is known as common wire (or c-wire), in order to function properly. That is one of the reasons we offer our Thermostat Wire at higher strand counts, which include c-wire(s) within them, along with standardized strand counts as well; we want to provide options fit to accommodate all applications through a high-quality product that will remain unfailing and abiding for years to come.
Thermostat Wire Installation
Our Thermostat Wire can easily be cut and molded to adhere to your designated application space. Remain educated as you go through the installation process; ensure that you have the necessary tools to get the most out of your Thermostat Wire. Browse our selection of Wire Cutters and Strippers and choose from a wide array of hardware designed to meet your needs. We pride ourselves on offering an end-to-end solution, striving, above all, to provide satisfaction for our customers.
