18-5C Thermostat Wire is a low-voltage electrical cable primarily designed to connect your thermostat to your HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) system. It transmits control signals between these components, ensuring proper operation of your heating and cooling systems.

In '18-5C Thermostat Wire', '18' refers to the wire's gauge, meaning it is 18 American Wire Gauge (AWG). '5C' indicates that the cable contains 5 individual conductors. This configuration is common for systems requiring multiple control signals, including those with a C-wire.

This thermostat wire is ideal for power-limited circuits in various systems. Common applications include thermostats, air conditioning units, heat pumps, bell and alarm systems, signal systems, doorbells, and remote control units.

Here are the key specifications for the 18-5C Thermostat Wire: - Conductor Gauge: 18 AWG - Number of Conductors: 5 - Conductor Material: Solid soft drawn copper, per ASTM B3 and B258 - Insulation: Heat and moisture resistant colored polyvinyl chloride (PVC) - Jacket: Heat, moisture, and sunlight resistant polyvinyl chloride (PVC) - Voltage Rating: Not to exceed 300 volts - Temperature Rating: -20°C to +60°C

The 18-5C Thermostat Wire is designed for power-limited circuits where the voltage does not exceed 300 volts. Most residential HVAC systems operate on a 24-volt low-voltage current.
