Learn the differences between 14/2 and 16/2 speaker wire, including distance, power handling, installation flexibility, and ideal applications.
Control Cable Unshielded 18AWG 6 Conductor Riser CMR Stranded 1000ft Grey
Handle the most complex control and security wiring in walls and risers with this 18AWG 6-conductor unshielded stranded bare copper control cable, rated CMR and C(ETL)US Listed for permanent in-wall and vertical riser installations in residential and commercial buildings. With six individually color-coded conductors, one cable run replaces three separate 2-conductor cables to the same device or panel — a major reduction in conduit fill and installation time on large commercial projects.
Six conductors let you dedicate separate conductors to power, signal, return, tamper, status, and auxiliary functions for complex security panels, multi-channel audio zones, access control with door monitoring, and multi-function HVAC building automation controllers. A built-in ripcord enables fast jacket removal at every termination point.
