This wire provides reliable signal transmission between thermostats, air handlers, furnaces, heat pumps, and other HVAC control components. The hybrid construction supports modern multi-stage and communicating system installations where multiple conductors are required. It is installed by licensed HVAC technicians as part of new system installs, equipment changeouts, or thermostat upgrades requiring additional conductors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis thermostat wire is suited for residential and light commercial HVAC applications where 8-conductor, 18 AWG low-voltage control wiring is required. Common installation scenarios include multi-stage heating and cooling systems, heat pump systems with auxiliary heat, and zoning control setups that require dedicated conductors for each control function. The 250-foot roll provides enough length for most residential installations without mid-run splices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e18 AWG wire gauge suitable for low-voltage HVAC control circuits\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e8 conductors provide dedicated wiring paths for multi-stage and multi-function control\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e250-foot roll length minimizes the need for splices in standard residential installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHybrid construction designed for modern communicating and conventional HVAC systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation thermostat wire for residential and light commercial low-voltage HVAC control systems requiring 18 AWG 8-conductor wiring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local codes and NEC low-voltage wiring guidelines. Always de-energize the HVAC system at the disconnect and confirm power is off before pulling or terminating control wire. Avoid running thermostat wire in the same conduit as line-voltage conductors. Secure wire runs with appropriate staples or clips to prevent abrasion and strain at terminal connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire Gauge\u003c\/strong\u003e: 18 AWG\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Conductors\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRoll Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 250 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hybrid Thermostat Wire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: SOUTHWIRE\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 18-8CS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SOUTHWIRE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51346624315698,"sku":"18-8CS","price":212.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310554643.jpg?v=1782085784","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/southwire-18-8cs-hybrid-thermostat-wire-18awg-8c-250ft","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
