Monoprice 104042 Speaker Wire 16AWG 4-Conductor 250ft White

Four-conductor 16 AWG speaker wire

This 250-foot spool of 16 AWG speaker wire contains four individually colour-coded conductors inside a single white jacket. It is built for installers running multi-room audio, whole-house distributed sound or bi-wireable speaker pairs. The oxygen-free 99.95 percent pure bare copper conductors give lower resistance than copper-clad aluminium alternatives. The CL2-rated jacket meets residential in-wall fire-safety requirements.

Capacity and headroom

Four conductors let you carry two discrete stereo channels or a single bi-wire run without pulling a second cable. At 16 AWG the wire handles typical home-theatre and distributed-audio distances with minimal loss; very long runs or high-power amplifiers may need a thicker gauge. The 250-foot length covers most single-room or multi-zone pulls from one spool. Oxygen-free copper keeps resistance stable over time.

Build integration

The white CL2 jacket is approved for in-wall and in-ceiling installation in residential buildings, so it can be fished through studs and joists without conduit. Each conductor’s colour-coded insulation makes termination at wall plates, binding posts or banana plugs straightforward. The spool pays out cleanly for long pulls and stores neatly between jobs. No connectors are fitted, letting you choose the termination method that suits the system.
