Description
Description
Connect two pairs of outdoor speakers with one burial using this 16AWG 4-conductor OFC direct burial speaker wire. Four conductors replace two separate 2-conductor runs to a pair of outdoor speakers — one pull, one trench, two speakers. CMR and CL3R rated for in-wall and riser runs where the cable enters the building.
16AWG handles outdoor runs up to 50 feet per pair to 8-ohm speakers at moderate power — background music, deck speakers, and landscape speakers near the amp. At 0.256 in. OD and 28 lbs, it's thinner than the 14AWG 4C outdoor version (0.315 in., 42 lbs). For runs over 50ft or 4-ohm speakers, use 14AWG 4C instead.
