Description
Description
This 14/2 (14AWG, 2-conductor) speaker wire ships in a clear PVC jacket built for living rooms, home theaters, and desktop setups where the cable stays exposed along baseboards, shelving, or behind equipment rather than sealed inside a wall. 14AWG handles runs up to 100 feet to 8-ohm speakers with lower resistance than 16AWG, the right gauge for most single-room audio setups.
This clear-jacket wire is not intended for in-wall installation; for runs that go inside a wall or ceiling, use our CL2-rated 14/2 speaker wire instead. A stripe on one conductor marks polarity — connect the striped conductor to positive (+) at both the amplifier and speaker, and it works with banana plugs, spade connectors, and bare-wire binding posts.
