Speaker Wire 12AWG 1000ft White

Monoprice 116086 is a 12AWG speaker wire supplied in a 1000ft reel for whole-home audio installations. It uses two conductors of oxygen-free bare copper rated at greater than 99.95% purity for accurate signal transfer. The cable carries a CL3 rating for in-wall use in residential buildings. It suits installers and owners running long speaker runs behind walls.

Thermals Noise Power Draw

As a passive copper cable this product generates no heat, produces no noise and draws no power during normal use. The oxygen-free bare copper conductors exhibit lower resistance than copper-clad aluminium alternatives which are only about 68% as conductive. Reduced resistance helps preserve amplifier damping factor and frequency response over the full 304.8 metre length. No active cooling or power supply is required.

Lifetime Warranty CL3 Rating

The cable is backed by a Monoprice lifetime warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. A white CL3-rated PVC jacket meets fire safety and insurance requirements for in-wall residential installation. Each conductor has colour-coded PVC insulation for quick polarity identification during termination. No software, connectors or additional accessories are bundled with the reel.

Questions about this item

How do I pull the 12AWG CL3-rated cable through wall cavities and what step do installers often skip?

Feed the white PVC-jacketed cable through stud bays, staple it within 12 in of each box and every 4.5 ft afterward, and firestop every penetration through a fire-rated wall — the firestop step is the one most often missed.

What maintenance or replacement will the oxygen-free bare copper conductors need over time?

The 99.95% pure copper conductors require no scheduled maintenance; only re-terminate if a banana plug or spade lug becomes loose or corroded.

What limit appears first when the 1000 ft run drives demanding speakers at high volume for long periods?

The 12AWG gauge sets the resistance floor; on very long runs the voltage drop across the copper becomes the limiting factor before the CL3 jacket reaches its temperature rating.
