Ideal for whole-home audio installs
This 16 AWG speaker wire uses high-purity oxygen-free bare copper conductors for low resistance. The 1000 foot reel suits multi-room runs in residential buildings. Installers and homeowners get reliable signal transfer for distributed sound systems.
CL3 rating limits in-wall use to residential spaces
The cable meets fire safety and insurance requirements for inside walls of residential class buildings only. It is not rated for plenum spaces, riser shafts or commercial installations. Total wire resistance should stay below five percent of the speaker's lowest impedance for transparent performance.
Colour-coded PVC jackets simplify polarity
Four conductors are individually insulated in distinct colours so positive and negative leads stay clear during long pulls. The white outer jacket is flexible but can stiffen in cold temperatures, so allow it to warm before unspooling. Measure each run twice before cutting to avoid short lengths.

Questions about this item
How do I choose between the different conductor counts for this wire?
This product is a single 4-conductor version; there are no alternative conductor counts listed for model 116081.
What does the 16AWG rating mean for my speaker runs?
The 16AWG pure bare copper conductors keep resistance low so the cable adds less than 5% to speaker impedance, preserving the amplifier load curve.
What does the CL2 rating allow for installation?
The CL2-rated PVC jacket meets fire safety and insurance requirements for in-wall use in residential buildings.
