Direct Burial Speaker Wire 16AWG 2-Conductor
This Logico SWC1602DB speaker wire is built for indoor, outdoor and direct burial installations. The 16AWG two-conductor design uses bare copper OFC with a high strand count for flexible routing. A UV resistant PE jacket combined with PET and HDPE insulation shields the conductors from moisture, oxygen, carbon dioxide and sunlight degradation. It ships on a wooden reel for convenient dispensing.
500ft Wooden Reel Integration
The 500ft length on a wooden reel lets installers pull long runs without mid-cable splices, reducing potential failure points in landscape or whole-home audio systems. The direct burial rating eliminates the need for conduit in many soil conditions, freeing up trenching time and material cost. Black colour coding helps identify polarity during termination at speakers and amplifiers.
Sustained Outdoor Durability
The PE jacket with fire retardant and UV resistance compounds maintains structural integrity during prolonged sun exposure and temperature cycling. PET film wrapping protects the bare copper strands from oxidation and water ingress over years of burial. High strand count construction resists fatigue from ground movement or seasonal freeze-thaw cycles better than solid core alternatives.

Questions about this item
How does the 16 AWG gauge limit the maximum speaker run before signal loss becomes noticeable?
At 16 AWG the cable is generally suitable for runs up to about 50 feet per channel; longer distances increase resistance and can reduce high-frequency detail, so plan runs accordingly.
Will the PE jacket and PET layer stay cool and quiet when the wire carries continuous high-volume audio all day?
The wire is passive and generates no heat or noise of its own; the UV-resistant PE jacket and PET barrier simply protect the bare copper conductors from sunlight, moisture and oxidation during long-term outdoor use.
What connectors or tools do I already need to terminate this 16/2 direct-burial cable for my amplifier and speakers?
You will need speaker terminals or binding posts that accept bare 16 AWG wire, plus a wire stripper and optionally banana plugs or spade lugs for a secure, corrosion-resistant connection.
