Speaker cable Elektrokabel SMYp 2 x 1 mm, black, 100 m reel

Elektrokabel SMYp speaker cable, 2 x 1 mm, on a 100 m black reel is a basic twin-conductor cable intended for low-voltage audio signal transmission. The cable features two insulated conductors with a combined outer sheath, suitable for connecting loudspeakers to amplifiers or receivers in residential, commercial or fixed-installation environments. The 1 mm conductor cross-section balances flexibility and adequate signal carrying capacity for short to medium runs commonly found in home audio and background music systems.

Advantages

This speaker cable provides straightforward, reliable transmission of audio signals for non-critical installations. The twin-conductor construction and standard insulation deliver consistent polarity identification and basic protection against mechanical wear. Supplied on a 100 m reel, the product simplifies routing and deployment for continuous runs and reduces the need for frequent jointing. The black outer sheath offers a neutral appearance suitable for visible and concealed installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting bookshelf, floorstanding or ceiling speakers to amplifiers or receivers in domestic audio setups
• Background music systems in cafes, retail premises and office spaces
• Permanent in-wall or surface-mounted cable runs where standard insulated twin speaker cable is required
• Short to medium-length runs where 1 mm conductor cross-section meets power and signal needs

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not designed for high-power professional concert systems or long-distance runs that require larger conductor cross-sections and lower resistance. It also does not provide additional shielding for environments with significant electromagnetic interference; in such cases, a shielded or higher-spec audio cable would be more appropriate.

Key specifications

• Conductor configuration: 2 conductors (twin)
• Conductor cross-section: 1.0 mm² per conductor
• Length: 100 m reel
• Sheath colour: black
• Intended use: low-voltage speaker/audio signal transmission
• Installation: suitable for permanent indoor runs and surface mounting

How to use

Cut the required length from the 100 m reel and strip a small portion of insulation from each conductor to expose the core. Maintain correct polarity when connecting to amplifier and speaker terminals: typically the marked or coloured conductor corresponds to positive. Route the cable avoiding sharp edges and heat sources; use cable clips or conduits for neat, secure installation. For in-wall installations, follow local electrical and building codes and ensure the cable type is permitted for concealed wiring in your jurisdiction.

What to consider before purchase

• Required conductor cross-section for your speaker power and cable run length
• Whether shielded cable or larger gauge is needed for long runs or high-interference environments
• Installation method (surface-mounted, in-wall, or through conduits) and applicable local regulations
• Colour preference if visible routing is planned

Usage recommendations

For typical home audio and background music applications use this 2 x 1 mm speaker cable for runs up to moderate lengths. Keep runs as short as practical, secure the cable along its route, and double-check polarity at both ends to preserve correct speaker phase and sound quality.
