Speaker wire for home audio systems

This 16AWG four-conductor cable uses oxygen-free bare copper rated above 99.95 percent purity. It is built for stereo or bi-wire connections in residential installations. The CL2-rated jacket meets in-wall fire-safety requirements for permanent runs.

CL2 rating allows in-wall routing without conduit

The black PVC jacket is approved for installation inside walls and ceilings, eliminating the need for surface-mounted raceways. Four colour-coded conductors simplify polarity identification at both amplifier and speaker ends. The 100-foot length supports multiple room-length pulls from a single reel.

Colour-coded PVC jackets speed up termination

Each conductor carries its own coloured insulation so installers can match positive and negative leads without a multimeter. Oxygen-free copper keeps resistance low compared with copper-clad aluminium alternatives. The bare-copper construction maintains the amplifier load close to the speaker impedance curve.

Questions about this item

How much resistance does the 16 AWG pure copper add to a 4-ohm speaker run?

For a 100 ft run the wire resistance stays well below 5 percent of a 4-ohm load, keeping the amplifier load close to the speaker's impedance curve.

Does the CL2-rated PVC jacket get stiff or hot when the wire carries high power all day?

The CL2-rated PVC jacket remains flexible and does not generate noticeable heat during continuous high-power use.

What terminals or connectors are needed to attach the four colour-coded conductors?

The wire has bare copper ends; you supply banana plugs, spade lugs or bare-wire binding posts for each of the four conductors.
