    4/2019 Monoprice Access Series 12 Gauge AWG CL2 Rated 2 Conductor Speaker Wire/Cable - 250ft Ive purchased falsely labeled wire in past so I always do weighing and counting: Entire spool with wire and cardboard spool = 7.14Kg 12 length with both conductors and all insulation = 26.7grams so seems reasonable that there is actually 250 on spool. One conductor stripped of all insulation = 8.7grams Number of strands in one conductor = 65 strands Mass of 12 or 30cm of bare conductor (65strands) = 8.7grams or 98% of expected 8.888grams which is well within my scale and measuring precisions. Spools is well constructed of heavy cardboard and plastic.

    High quality wire at a great value. Works great for in-wall or is pretty good for interconnect situations as well. I would recommend buying a separate wire striper sized specifically and exclusively for stranded wire. If you see little one-inch strands of copper building up around your worksite, you need to change your stripping tool.

    This was the best quality for the best price I could find for the CL2 rated 12AWG. Beware of some of the other cables you find on sale on Amazon that say 12AWG but are actually 14AWG (read the reviews)

    I wired the 5.1 system and added a center speaker downstairs. Had plenty of wire and sound is fabulous!

    Great!

Get the most out of your home audio system with high quality, oxygen-free, pure bare copper speaker wire from monoprice!

this speaker wire features two conductors made of high purity (greater than 99.95% pure), oxygen-free bare copper. Pure bare copper is a superior conductor to the copper clad aluminum (CCA) conductors used in most other inexpensive speaker wire. Cca is only about 68% as conductive as pure bare copper. This additional resistance is added to the impedance of your speakers and can negatively effect The sound.

for the wire to have no audible effect, The total wire resistance should be no more than 5% of the lowest impedance of your speakers. Even speakers rated for a nominal 8-ohms, may dip to as low as 4-ohms at some frequencies, which further reduces the total cable resistance allowed in the wire. Using pure bare copper speaker wire ensures that the total load put on the amplifier remains as close as possible to the impedance curve of your speakers.

for example, a 16AWG 2-conductor pure bare copper speaker wire has a total resistance of 0.803 ohms per 100 feet (both directions must be considered). by comparison, a 16AWG 2-conductor CCA speaker wire has a total resistance of 1.181 ohms per 100 feet. Assuming 4 ohms is the lowest impedance of your speakers, a speaker wire run can be no more 0.2-Ohms total. 20 feet of 16AWG pure bare copper would be 0.1606 ohms, well under the 0.2-Ohm limit. On the other hand, 20 feet of 16AWG CCA would be 0.2362 ohms, well over the 0.2-Ohm limit.

each conductor is jacketed with color-coded PVC for easy polarity identification. The entire cable assembly is jacketed in a white, CL2-rated PVC material. The CL2 rating indicates that the cable complies with fire safety and insurance requirements, making it safe for use inside the walls of residential class buildings.
