Description
Description
Wire your home theater, multi-room audio, or commercial background music system with this 12AWG 2-conductor OFC in-wall speaker wire. CMR and CL3R rated, approved for permanent in-wall and riser installations, with the lowest resistance per foot of any standard in-wall speaker gauge.
12AWG OFC is the go-to choice for high-power installations: 4-ohm speaker loads, amplifiers over 100 watts, and long in-wall runs from 50 to 200 feet where thinner 14AWG or 16AWG wire would add measurable resistance and audible power loss. 65 strands of OFC per conductor keep the wire flexible for routing through walls without kinking, and resist oxidation at connection points over the life of the installation.
