16 AWG Two-Conductor Speaker Wire

This 500ft reel of 16 AWG speaker wire uses copper-clad aluminium conductors for audio installations. Each conductor contains 65 strands of 0.16mm wire wrapped in a double jacket. It is built for in-wall, ceiling and outdoor direct burial runs.

CL2 Rated Double Jacket Construction

The PVC plus PE jacket provides ultraviolet and waterproof protection for direct burial use. The CL2 rating covers in-wall and ceiling applications where fire-code compliance is required. Electromagnetic resistance helps maintain signal integrity near power lines.

500ft Length for Whole-Home Runs

A single 500ft spool handles multi-room speaker layouts without splices. The 16 AWG gauge suits typical home audio distances but is not intended for very long high-power runs where voltage drop becomes significant. Buyers needing heavier gauge for extended distances should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 16 AWG gauge for a 500ft run or choose a thicker option?

The 16 AWG gauge with two stranded conductors is designed for audio systems and in-wall or ceiling installations at this length.

What does the 65-strand, 0.16mm construction mean for flexibility and signal quality in a real install?

The 65 strands at 0.16mm each make the copper-clad aluminium conductors flexible for pulling through walls while maintaining conductivity for audio signals.

How does the CL2-rated PVC and PE double jacket perform for direct burial and UV exposure?

The CL2-rated double jacket of PVC and PE provides waterproof, ultraviolet and electromagnetic resistance for outdoor direct burial use.
