Monoprice 102820 100ft 14AWG CL2 Rated 2-Conductor Loud Speaker Cable (for In-Wall Installation) CL2 Rated | 2-Conductor

Quality cable for my application

Was perfect for my media system. Cooper is good quality. The insulation is good quality and is clearly labeled. 100 feet was more then enough.

Muy facil de maniobrar

Wonderful cable to work with making connections to amp, switch box and adapters.

quite thin. the enclosure is the same for all the AWG rating cable. so take a 12 AWG if you can

This is the third AV speaker system Ive installed in my home over about a 4-year period. The first two were fished through the walls and over ceilings, terminated in boxes inside the walls with jacks and connected with banana plugs. The most recent installation is surface mounted with runs along the casings and up the walls behind draperies for simplicity. In all cases Ive used Monoprice cabling. The first system is larger with more wattage, so I used 12 gauge cables. The other two are smaller, so I used 14 gauge cabling with good results. This is twisted solid copper wire, not copper-coated aluminum, which seems to be the case with some lower-priced competing products. Im very happy with the results in all cases. If there is any issue, it may be that the wire ends have to be tightly twisted when attempting to make a connection with the standard blade clamps present on many AV receivers and speakers. Also, getting the wire connected to banana plugs presents similar minor challenges. None of this is a deal breaker and anyone with rudimentary wiring skills will not encounter serious difficulties. It is recommended that the installer have available a few basic wiring tools, such as a good wire cutter or heavy wire cutting pliers, a quality wire stripper and a tool capable of cutting a moderately bulky cable. In some cases, soldering the connections to banana plugs might be advisable. Ive purchased at least 750 feet of this cable or the heavier 12 guage and would purchase again if I decided to install yet another (fourth) AV system.

its wire

Great quality wire, a pain to cut but the quality of the wire is great! Get a good wife cutter for stranded wire and youre all set

Just what I needed. Great product.

This is my second spool ordered and bot ends broken off and the wire uncoiled in the box/bag. Shrink wrap is only over the wire and not the spool ends, so any bounces and both snap off. If you dont want to constantly return these or dont mind spending a half hour untangling and transferring it to another spool, buy a different brand.
