Southwire Thermostat 500 553020507

The Southwire 553020507 is thermostat cable supplied in a 500 foot package.

The 500 foot package suits new construction and larger projects where multiple runs are pulled from a single reel, rather than the shorter packages carried for service work.

Buying cable in bulk for a project has a practical benefit beyond price: every run comes from the same reel, with the same conductor colours in the same sequence. Mixed sources introduce the possibility of different colour conventions between runs, which produces confusion later when someone assumes a colour means what it usually means.

Colour convention in thermostat wiring is a convention rather than a standard, and while red for transformer supply, white for heat, yellow for cooling, green for fan, and blue for common are widely used, they are not universal and are frequently departed from in the field.

The reliable practice is to label conductors at both ends at installation rather than relying on colour. A label at the equipment and at the thermostat, recording what each conductor actually connects to, saves considerable time at every subsequent service visit.

Applications include residential and light commercial thermostat and control wiring, new construction, and larger installations.
