Monoprice 144336 Speaker Wire 16AWG 2-Conductor 250ft White

16AWG 250ft CL3 Speaker Wire

This 16AWG speaker wire uses pure bare copper conductors rated above 99.95 percent purity. The 250-foot spool supplies enough length for multi-room or whole-home audio installations. CL3 rating confirms compliance with in-wall fire safety and insurance requirements. It is built for installers and owners who need reliable in-wall runs.

Two-conductor polarity-coded PVC

Each of the two conductors is wrapped in colour-coded PVC so polarity stays clear during long pulls. The bare copper construction avoids the higher resistance of copper-clad aluminium, keeping amplifier load close to the speaker impedance curve. No connectors are included, so terminations are chosen on site. The spool format feeds cleanly through studs and conduit.

Pure copper over CCA for lower loss

Pure bare copper conductors deliver roughly 68 percent better conductivity than copper-clad aluminium alternatives. That reduction in series resistance helps preserve damping factor and frequency response, especially on longer runs. The CL3 jacket allows the cable to remain inside walls without additional raceway. Buyers needing four-conductor cable or pre-terminated ends will need a different product.
