Coleman Cable 553053407 Thermostat Wire

The Coleman Cable 553053407 is a trade-grade 18/5 thermostat wire designed for reliable low-voltage control circuits in residential and commercial HVACR applications. Built with five solid copper conductors, this cable ensures maximum conductivity and signal integrity for multi-stage heating and cooling systems. The 250-foot Baro-Pack payout system simplifies pulls, reducing tangles and wire memory during onsite installation. This CL2 rated cable features a high-visibility 60°C PVC jacket and is designed to handle a 30V maximum load with a 3.2A current capacity. Standardized color coding (White, Red, Green, Blue, Yellow) streamlines HVAC control wiring, making it compatible with heat pumps, air handlers, and smart thermostat retrofits.

• Solid Copper Conductors: Provides the necessary rigidity and low resistance for secure terminal connections and long-term performance.
• UL Listed Class 2: Rated for low-voltage heating and cooling installations, meeting NEC safety standards for power-limited circuits.
• Contractor-Friendly Payout: The Baro-Pack packaging dispenses wire smoothly, minimizing waste and labor time during thermostat installation.
• Multi-Conductor Versatility: The 18-gauge 5-conductor configuration supports modern 24V control systems including fan, compressor, and reversing valve signals.

Is 18/5 wire compatible with smart thermostats?
Yes, this cable includes the common wire (C-wire) necessary for powering modern WiFi-enabled thermostats and multi-stage control boards.

Can this be used for outdoor runs?
This PVC jacket is designed for indoor use within walls or conduit. For direct burial or high UV exposure, specialized outdoor-rated cable is required.

Is this wire suitable for heat pump installations?
18/5 wire is typically sufficient for standard heat pump systems requiring four or five leads, though systems with auxiliary heat may require additional conductors.
