Know before you buy
The CL3 rating indicates that this cable is safety-certified for in-wall installation. It meets specific fire-resistance standards, making it a safe choice for running wires behind drywall or through wall cavities.
Long-Grain Copper features fewer oxides and impurities within the metal structure compared to standard copper. This design reduces signal distortion and provides a cleaner, more detailed audio path for your speakers.
No, this is a bulk cable product. You will need to cut it to your desired length and attach your own banana plugs, spade connectors, or pin connectors to suit your specific equipment.
Twisted Pair geometry helps minimize electromagnetic interference and crosstalk between the conductors. By twisting the wires together, the cable maintains better signal integrity, which is essential for preserving audio clarity over longer runs.
Yes, 14 AWG is a versatile gauge that works well for most home audio setups. It provides a good balance of low resistance and flexibility, making it suitable for standard to medium-length speaker runs without significant signal loss.
