The 16 AWG option for your cable schedule
Choose QS/M when the project calls for the 16 AWG QSH-CBL-M construction. Its larger power/common conductors distinguish it from the 18 AWG GREEN version, while the separate shielded 22 AWG pair serves the communications link.
For QS lighting and shade wiring, size the cable to the system design, connected load and run length. The blue jacket with orange stripe identifies this Wavenet construction, making it easier to distinguish cable types on the job.

Common questions
What is the cross-reference for Wavenet QS/M?
Wavenet cross-references LUTRON-QS/M/1000 to Lutron QSH-CBL-M and Liberty LUTRON-QSC. The product sold here is Wavenet-brand cable with two 16 AWG power/common conductors and a shielded 22 AWG data pair.
How is QS/M different from GREEN and 46/QSL?
QS/M uses 16 AWG power/common conductors. GREEN uses 18 AWG, and 46/QSL uses 12 AWG with an additional 18 AWG sense conductor. Select the construction called for by your system wiring design.
Is this plenum cable?
This is the non-plenum version. For a project requiring a plenum-rated cable, contact RF-AV for a plenum option.
How much cable is included?
Each unit contains 1000 ft of cable. Installation run limits are determined by the Lutron system design and connected load, rather than the package length.
