    I will be using it for low-voltage applications, and it appears to be quite correct for my requirements.

    Monoprice never disappoints, this is high grade pure copper wire at an outstanding price. Its a bit stiff due to thick 14 gauge wire so dont expect to make 90 degree hairpin turns but a must have for distances through ceilings/walls; 14 gauge wire isnt really necessary until reaching distances of 50 (16 awg is fine <50) but I use 14 for everything anyway. The white casing also looks more aesthetically pleasing against white walls/baseboards as apposed to regular brown speaker wire as well, less noticeable and looks like coax; also lays straighter instead of straying with slack. About a 1/4 diameter.

    Good purchase if you’re looking to add a sound system to your house. CL rating so in can be ran in walls.

    Wire it self seems to be decent quality but the spool its delivered in was a joke. Arrived and the spool was apart and wire a big mess. Made it very difficult to pull.

    Product arrived on time and when promised. Excellent price and Great wire! EXTREMELY easy to work with and every foot is marked which made measuring a simple matter of unrolling and subtracting. Highly recommend for in wall installations.

    Great value in speaker wire, would expect nothing less. Better overall value from Amazon than from Monoprice direct when shipping taken into account.

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.
