16AWG oxygen-free copper speaker wire

This 250-foot spool of 16AWG two-conductor speaker wire uses 99.95 percent pure oxygen-free bare copper conductors. It is designed for home audio installations where long, continuous runs are required. The white CL2-rated jacket allows safe in-wall routing in residential buildings. Pure copper conductivity avoids the higher resistance found in copper-clad aluminium alternatives.

Check amplifier terminals and run length

Verify that your amplifier or receiver accepts bare-wire connections or compatible banana plugs for 16-gauge conductors. Measure each speaker run to confirm the 76.2-metre total length covers all zones with enough slack for terminations. Ensure local building codes permit CL2-rated cable for the intended in-wall or ceiling paths. The wire carries no connectors, so termination method must be planned before installation.

In-wall audio runs with no extra conduit

The CL2 rating lets the cable sit inside walls without additional conduit, freeing installation time and material cost. Two conductors carry a single stereo pair or one channel per run, so multi-room layouts may need multiple spools. Oxygen-free copper keeps signal loss low over the full 250-foot distance. The white jacket blends with common ceiling and wall finishes for a clean appearance.

Questions about this item

Does the 250 ft spool include connectors or banana plugs?

The product is supplied as a 250 ft spool of bare 16 AWG two-conductor wire. No connectors or banana plugs are included; they must be purchased separately if required.

When should I choose this 16 AWG wire instead of a thicker gauge?

16 AWG is suitable for typical home speaker runs up to around 50 ft. For longer runs or higher-power systems a lower-gauge (thicker) wire would reduce resistance.

How does the 99.95 % oxygen-free copper affect real-world performance?

The 99.95 % pure oxygen-free copper conductors have significantly lower resistance than copper-clad aluminium, so more amplifier power reaches the speakers and sound quality is preserved.
