Wirepath SP-162-500-WH 16AWG 2 Conductor Speaker Wire 500ft

For distributed audio, speaker wire is one of those components you never want to think about again after the install is done. Wirepath SP-162-500-WH is a professional 16 gauge, 2 conductor speaker cable built for clean pulls, fast terminations, and dependable long term performance in low voltage audio systems.

The conductors are oxygen free copper, which is the right material choice when you care about consistent conductivity and reliable sound from the amplifier to the speaker. At 16 AWG, this cable is a solid everyday pick for many in wall and in ceiling speaker runs, stereo pairs, soundbar surrounds, and whole home audio zones, especially when you are doing multiple drops and want a balance of flexibility and performance.

Where Wirepath really helps installers is packaging. The 500 ft spool in box uses a rugged, jobsite friendly design with reinforced handles, a water resistant coating, and a wide mouth payout tube so the cable feeds smoothly. Patented REELEX technology is designed to reduce tangles and kinks, which saves time and cuts down on wasted cable, especially when you are pulling multiple rooms back to a central rack or media closet. The jacket is also easy to strip, making terminations quicker and reducing the chance you nick the conductor while working.

The white jacket blends well in typical residential and commercial interiors, keeping exposed sections in racks, cabinets, and wall transitions looking clean and professional. This speaker wire is intended for low voltage applications below 80V and is backed by a lifetime limited warranty, so you can install it with confidence.
