Encore Wire 05586.15.08 18 Awg 6 Conductor Cable 50 Ft

Product Description

The ENCORE WIRE 05586.15.08 is a 6-conductor multi-conductor cable designed for low-voltage control wiring applications in residential and light commercial systems. Built on 18 AWG solid bare copper conductors with a brown poly-vinyl chloride (PVC) jacket, this cable delivers reliable signal and control current where clean, organized multi-run wiring is required. The jacket measures 0.208 inches in outer diameter with a wall thickness of 0.0080 inches, providing adequate protection in standard indoor installations. Rated at 150 volts and suitable for operating temperatures from -20 degrees C to 60 degrees C, it covers a wide range of common control circuit environments. Each spool contains 50 feet of cable.

This cable is well suited for HVAC control wiring, thermostat runs, zone valve wiring, low-voltage automation, and similar multi-conductor signal applications in residential and light commercial settings. The 6-conductor configuration supports multi-zone or multi-function control layouts where several discrete circuits must be routed together through a single cable run. Electricians and HVAC technicians installing thermostats, zone boards, or building control equipment will find the 50-foot spool a practical working length for most single-zone or short-run jobs.

Key Features

• 18 AWG solid bare copper conductors for consistent electrical continuity in control circuits
• 6 conductors in one jacket simplifies multi-zone or multi-function low-voltage wiring
• PVC jacket rated at 150 volts with brown color for easy identification or labeling
• Outer jacket diameter of 0.208 inches fits standard low-voltage conduit and cable guides
• Operating range of -20 degrees C to 60 degrees C suits typical indoor mechanical room and attic installations
• Packaged on a spool for clean, tangle-free dispensing during installation

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose 18 AWG multi-conductor control cable suitable for low-voltage HVAC thermostat, zone control, and signal wiring applications where a 6-conductor PVC-jacketed cable is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or HVAC technician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements for low-voltage control wiring. De-energize all control circuits and confirm zero voltage at the terminals before making any connections. Avoid routing the cable in close proximity to high-voltage conductors without proper separation or shielding as required by code. Do not exceed the cable's 150-volt rating or install in environments outside its rated temperature range.
