White plenum-rated speaker cable reel 16 AWG 500 ft

Nlp Comprehensive

Nlp Comprehensive CAC-16-2/P-500 wire cap connector 16 AWG 500 ft

SKU CH-Y7JS-510XJ MPN CAC-16-2/P-500

Plenum-rated 16 AWG two-conductor stranded speaker cable supplied in a 500 ft reel for in-wall audio installs

  • Plenum-rated jacket allows installation in air-handling spaces
  • 16 AWG stranded copper conductors carry audio signals efficiently
  • 500 ft continuous length reduces splice points on long runs
  • Unshielded twisted pair design keeps cable flexible for easy pulling
  • UL CMP and RoHS compliant for commercial code adherence

Product Identity

This commercial-grade speaker cable is a 16 AWG two-conductor plenum-rated wire supplied on a 500-foot spool. It is designed for installers running audio lines through plenum spaces without conduit. The stranded bare copper conductors carry a CMP fire rating and RoHS compliance. The white jacket simplifies identification in ceiling cavities.

What the Specs Deliver

The plenum jacket allows the cable to be installed in air-handling areas without additional conduit, reducing labour and material cost. Stranded 16 AWG conductors provide flexibility for pulling through tight pathways while maintaining signal integrity for distributed audio. The unshielded twisted pair keeps the overall diameter at .175 inches for easier routing. UL CMP listing confirms the fire-safety rating required by code.

Installation Checklist

Verify that local building codes accept CMP-rated cable for the intended plenum spaces. Confirm the .175-inch outer diameter fits through existing raceways or penetrations in your project. Ensure the two-conductor colour code of black and natural matches your termination standard. Check that the 500-foot length covers the longest planned run with sufficient slack for terminations.

Questions about this item

How often will the 16 AWG stranded copper conductors need inspection or replacement in a permanent plenum installation?

The solid 16 AWG stranded bare copper conductors are rated for the life of the installation; no scheduled replacement is required unless physical damage occurs.

What is the first performance limit reached when the cable runs at full amplifier power continuously?

The 16 AWG conductor cross-section sets the current-carrying limit, so voltage drop over long runs becomes the governing factor before the plenum jacket is stressed.

Does the plenum-rated jacket add noticeable heat or affect power handling when the cable is energised all day?

The .175 in plenum jacket is designed for continuous operation in air-handling spaces and does not generate additional heat or reduce the cable's power capacity.
