𝟒 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐃𝐔𝐂𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐒 𝐓𝐖𝐎 𝐏𝐀𝐈𝐑𝐒 Four conductors carry two outdoor speaker pairs in one buried cable — deck and patio, or two backyard speakers from a single trench and pull.

𝐃𝐈𝐑𝐄𝐂𝐓 𝐁𝐔𝐑𝐈𝐀𝐋 𝐍𝐎 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐃𝐔𝐈𝐓 Rated for underground direct burial without conduit — run from wall through soil directly to outdoor speakers. Buried or exposed, any weather.

𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐍𝐄𝐑 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐍 𝟏𝟒𝐀𝐖𝐆 𝟒𝐂 𝐎𝐔𝐓𝐃𝐎𝐎𝐑 At 0.256 in. OD and 28 lbs, thinner than 14AWG 4C outdoor (0.315 in., 42 lbs) — easier through landscape conduit and outdoor obstacles.

𝐅𝐑-𝐏𝐕𝐂 𝐏𝐀𝐏𝐄𝐑 𝐓𝐀𝐏𝐄 𝐃𝐔𝐑𝐀𝐁𝐈𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐘 FR-PVC over paper tape blocks moisture, UV, and temperature extremes — built for reliable long-term buried outdoor speaker installs in any climate.

𝐂𝐌𝐑 𝐂𝐋𝟑𝐑 𝐎𝐔𝐓𝐃𝐎𝐎𝐑 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐈𝐍-𝐖𝐀𝐋𝐋 CMR and CL3R cover the whole signal path — in-wall riser runs inside the home and outdoor or buried runs to deck and landscape speakers in one cable.
Description
Description
Connect two pairs of outdoor speakers with one burial using this 16AWG 4-conductor OFC direct burial speaker wire. Four conductors in a single cable replace two separate 2-conductor runs to a pair of outdoor speakers on the deck, patio, or backyard — one pull, one trench, two speakers. CMR and CL3R rated for in-wall passes and riser runs where the cable enters the building.
16AWG is the right gauge for outdoor speaker runs up to 50 feet per pair to 8-ohm speakers at moderate power levels — background music zones, deck speakers, and secondary landscape speakers near the amplifier. At 0.256 in. OD and 28 lbs, it is thinner and lighter than the 14AWG 4C outdoor version (0.315 in., 42 lbs), making it easier to route through tight outdoor conduit entries and landscape areas. For runs over 50ft or 4-ohm outdoor speakers, use the 14AWG 4C direct burial version.
