Built for efficient low-voltage system installation

Copperweld Thermostat & HVAC Cable helps teams manage cost, improve installation workflow, and deliver reliable signal and control performance across residential and commercial HVAC systems.

Modern HVAC and control systems depend on reliable low-voltage wiring to support communication between thermostats, air handlers, condensers, zoning systems, and other building controls. Copperweld Thermostat & HVAC Cable is designed to meet these demands with lightweight, flexible construction that simplifies routing and installation in walls, ceilings, and mechanical spaces. Its bimetallic design helps reduce exposure to copper price volatility, minimize theft-related disruptions, and support dependable low-voltage performance in thermostat and HVAC control applications.

Features and Benefits:

Designed for Thermostat & HVAC Applications – Suitable for low-voltage HVAC control wiring, thermostat connections, and building control applications in residential and commercial systems.
Cost Stability – Copperweld’s bimetallic construction helps reduce exposure to copper price volatility, supporting more predictable project budgeting.
Reliable Low-Voltage Performance – Engineered to support dependable signal and control transmission for HVAC and thermostat systems.
Improved Installation Workflow – Lightweight construction and flexible design make routing and pulling cable easier through walls, ceilings, and tight mechanical spaces.
Reduced Theft Incentives – The lower scrap value of Copperweld CCA building wire helps reduce theft incentives compared to solid copper conductors, helping limit installation delays on active job sites.
Familiar Installation Practices – Installs and terminates similarly to traditional low-voltage cable, supporting fast adoption without changes to standard methods.
Code-Listed Construction – UL listed and compliant with applicable NEC requirements for use in a wide range of applications.

Construction

  • Conductors – Solid Copper-Clad Aluminum (CCA) 10%, annealed conductors
  • Conductor Insulation – 6 mil PVC insulation
  • Jacket – 15 mil sunlight-resistant, riser-rated PVC

Identification and Applications

  • Identification: Copperweld® UF-B cable is identified for use with wiring devices, splice connectors and equipment terminals rated for CC, Cu, Cu/Al and CO/ALR. Copperweld® Copper-Clad Aluminum (CCA) is not dissimilar metallurgically to copper, brass or zinc-plated steel. Copperweld® CCA is dissimilar to aluminum for making electrical connections. If splicing with twist-on splice connectors, pre-twisting is not required. Copperweld® UF-B Cable is made with ASTM B-566 Copper-Clad Aluminum bare wire, which carries its own component listing, DVVV2, and is an NEC requirement.
  • Applications: Refer to Article 340 of the NEC.

Standards

  • UL 13
  • ASTM B566

Listings & Compliance

  • ETL: 5021266
  • RoHS Compliant
  • REACH Compliant
