    great wire for in wall or in room. wish there was a black jacketed version

    great product at a great price. nicely spooled, no splices, bends to a nice tight radius for easy running. I wired a new house, so no snaking involved. Although a bit more expensive than on Monoprice.com, I think with shipping it would probably even out.

    I dont actually use this as speaker wire. I use it to wire up 4 wire stepper motors and other small projects. Its always worked very well for what I use it for.

    Im using this to extend the wiring on some Christmas pixel strings. Works great. I know it isnt rated for outside installation, but who cares. Low voltage, plenty of insulation, easy to position. Just what I wanted.

    I had purchased this item from multiple sellers on Amazon but each time I received the wire, it was not Monoprice wire. It was always CCA wire. Monoprice wire is pure copper and the weight is about double that of the CCA that some sellers are trying to sell. You can tell a CCA wire from pure copper by looking at the cut end of the wire. If its a shiny silver then it is CCA. CCA is much cheaper than pure copper.

    Works!

Get the most out of your home audio system with high quality, oxygen-free, pure bare copper speaker wire from monoprice!

this speaker wire features two conductors made of high purity (greater than 99.95% pure), oxygen-free bare copper. Pure bare copper is a superior conductor to the copper clad aluminum (CCA) conductors used in most other inexpensive speaker wire. Cca is only about 68% as conductive as pure bare copper. This additional resistance is added to the impedance of your speakers and can negatively effect The sound.

for the wire to have no audible effect, The total wire resistance should be no more than 5% of the lowest impedance of your speakers. Even speakers rated for a nominal 8-ohms, may dip to as low as 4-ohms at some frequencies, which further reduces the total cable resistance allowed in the wire. Using pure bare copper speaker wire ensures that the total load put on the amplifier remains as close as possible to the impedance curve of your speakers.

for example, a 16AWG 2-conductor pure bare copper speaker wire has a total resistance of 0.803 ohms per 100 feet (both directions must be considered). by comparison, a 16AWG 2-conductor CCA speaker wire has a total resistance of 1.181 ohms per 100 feet. Assuming 4 ohms is the lowest impedance of your speakers, a speaker wire run can be no more 0.2-Ohms total. 20 feet of 16AWG pure bare copper would be 0.1606 ohms, well under the 0.2-Ohm limit. On the other hand, 20 feet of 16AWG CCA would be 0.2362 ohms, well over the 0.2-Ohm limit.

each conductor is jacketed with color-coded PVC for easy polarity identification. The entire cable assembly is jacketed in a white, CL2-rated PVC material. The CL2 rating indicates that the cable complies with fire safety and insurance requirements, making it safe for use inside the walls of residential class buildings.
