Description
Description
This 14/2 (14AWG, 2-conductor) OFC stranded speaker wire wires whole-home audio and home theater systems. CMR and CL3R rated, it meets fire-safety requirements for in-wall installation in homes and riser runs between floors in commercial buildings.
14AWG balances performance and bulk: lower resistance than 16AWG over longer runs, without the extra bulk of 12AWG where it isn't needed. For 8-ohm speakers it handles runs up to 100 feet; for 4-ohm speakers or high-power amps, up to 50 feet. 105-strand OFC stays flexible through walls and into speaker plates without kinking, and a nylon rip cord makes jacket removal fast at every termination.
