16AWG 50ft oxygen-free copper speaker wire
This Monoprice 102749 speaker wire uses 99.95 percent pure bare copper conductors rather than copper-clad aluminium. The clear PVC jacket includes a blue stripe for quick polarity identification. It arrives as a 50-foot continuous spool rated for in-wall CL2 installation.
0.803 ohms total resistance per 100 feet
The 16AWG gauge yields a round-trip resistance of 0.803 ohms every 100 feet, keeping cable loss below five percent of speaker impedance. Oxygen-free copper maintains this low resistance better than CCA alternatives at 68 percent conductivity. The two-conductor design suits standard stereo connections.
Suits stereo runs up to 50 feet in walls or open air
Installers needing longer single runs or heavier gauge for high-power systems should consider other options. The fixed 50-foot length may leave excess on shorter runs. Buyers requiring pre-terminated connectors or different jacket colours will need a different product.

Questions about this item
How does the 16 AWG gauge affect resistance in a real speaker run?
A 16 AWG pure copper run has 0.803 ohms total resistance per 100 feet, keeping cable loss well below the 5 percent threshold for typical 8-ohm speakers.
What does the CL2 rating actually allow for installation?
CL2 rating means the jacket meets fire-safety codes for in-wall and ceiling runs inside residential buildings.
What physical space does the 50-foot spool need for storage or mounting?
The spool holds 15.24 metres of clear PVC-jacketed cable with a blue polarity stripe, compact enough for a toolbox or shelf.
