    Exactly what I wanted to extend my ham radio AH-4 tuner control line. I added 35 to the original 15 length. This 4 conductor 18# gage cable is a perfect match to the color code of the AH-4 ICOM HF Tuner. There are many uses for this multi-strand conductor cable. The conductor strands are not tinned and would not be good for a marine environment or road salt environment.

    As expected. The product was received as expected. No problems. Sturdy wire thats easy to maneuver in walls. Flexible enough too.

    Good quality wire for your surround system. Also good for in-wall applications.

    Not much to say about speaker wire....it works. It was all there; all 100. It was hot in my attic. That is all.

    This cable is ideal for limited in well clearance but need multi-way wiring. Overall fare price but wish if this cable would come in black. Order this product through Amazon.ca but still pay for customs while receiving the package. Might as well just order through their website since no Service at all from them here.

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.
