    The description is spot-on for this product - it is 4 conductor 18 gage wire. Im using it for RGB LED installations, and the colors are perfect for this application. It does come on a nice heavy cardboard spool, inside a small cube box.

    Sometimes it is the simple things in life that make you smile. This cable is one of em. It is quality material. Solid core copper (if you dont know why I mention it...google it). It is clearly made for pulling through walls as it has a reinforcement filament and smooth jacket to protect it and it never kinked while I was pulling ~200 feet of it. Kudos to Monoprice for providing a great product that is CL2 rated and beets the socks off their competition!

    Used 14/2 CL wire to connect Sonos Amp (connect:amp) to Sonance outdoor speakers (Mariner 64). 70 and 80 foot runs. Wire was easy to work with. Like that cable is marked every two feet so you can measure runs and know Left vs right when you get to amp. This is in attic. I had about 20 feet too much but decided to just coil it in case I add more speakers and need the extra length. Fast delivery. Recommended.

    I use this outside to run to a pair of waterproof speakers, I have had no problems yet, except the covering on the wires splits easily, and then you have a gap in the seal. I was not expecting it to be 100% weather resistant, but there have been no problems yet. Having one cable carry two speaker signals is great. Seems to be made very well.

    This wire is very easy to work with. Its suitable for alarms, telephones, audio, etc. Its hard to find quality wire these days, but here it is!

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.
