Speaker Wire 16AWG 1000ft
This 16AWG speaker wire suits installers and home audio enthusiasts running cables through walls for multi-room or surround sound systems. It is not for buyers who need pre-terminated connectors or a shorter length for simple desktop hookups.
CL3-Rated Oxygen-Free Copper
Two conductors of 99.95% pure oxygen-free bare copper provide lower resistance than copper-clad aluminium alternatives, which measure only 68% as conductive. The 999.74 ft spool delivers ample length for whole-house runs while the CL3-rated jacket meets in-wall fire safety requirements.
Color-Coded PVC Jackets
Each conductor carries its own colour-coded PVC jacket for instant polarity identification during installation. The outer white CL3-rated PVC sleeve protects the pair and simplifies pulling through stud cavities without additional conduit.

Questions about this item
Will the white CL3-rated jacket let me run this 16AWG wire inside walls alongside older cable?
Yes. The CL3 rating means the cable meets fire safety and insurance requirements for in-wall installation in residential buildings.
How can I confirm the oxygen-free copper conductors are connected correctly after pulling the 1000ft run?
Each conductor has a colour-coded PVC jacket for easy polarity identification, so you can verify positive and negative at both ends.
Does the 1000ft spool include connectors or do I need to buy banana plugs separately?
The product is supplied as raw 2-conductor wire only; no connectors are included, so you will need to purchase terminations separately.
