Monoprice 18AWG 4-Conductor Speaker Wire
This 18AWG speaker wire uses four high-purity oxygen-free copper conductors for reliable audio signal transmission. The colour-coded PVC jackets on each conductor simplify polarity identification during installation. It is supplied as a 1000ft reel for whole-home or multi-room wiring projects. The white CL3-rated outer jacket meets fire safety requirements for in-wall residential use.
CL3 Rating and Resistance Limits
The CL3 rating confirms compliance with fire safety and insurance standards for installation inside residential walls. Total wire resistance should remain below 5% of the speaker's lowest impedance to avoid audible effect. Pure bare copper construction provides significantly better conductivity than copper-clad aluminium alternatives. The 68% conductivity figure for CCA illustrates the performance gap compared to this oxygen-free copper design.
Installation Practicalities
Colour-coded individual jackets make polarity matching straightforward when terminating connections. The 1000ft length requires planning for pull routes and slack management in wall cavities. White outer jacket may show marks or dirt during handling in unfinished spaces. Buyers needing pre-terminated connectors or shorter ready-made lengths should consider alternative products.

Questions about this item
Should I pick the 18AWG 4-conductor 1000 ft reel or a different gauge for my home audio runs?
The 18AWG 4-conductor reel gives you 999.74 ft of pure bare copper with colour-coded PVC jackets, suited for typical residential speaker runs where total wire resistance stays below five percent of speaker impedance.
What does the 99.95 % pure oxygen-free copper claim mean once the wire is installed in walls?
It means each of the four conductors is greater than 99.95 % pure bare copper, keeping resistance low so the amplifier sees nearly the speaker's true impedance curve instead of added CCA resistance.
The listing mentions CL2 and CL3 ratings — which one applies and what does it cap in practice?
The cable assembly carries a CL3-rated white PVC jacket, certifying it meets fire-safety and insurance requirements for in-wall use in residential buildings.
