LP SMYp speaker cable 2 x 1 mm in black on a 100 m spool is intended for connecting loudspeakers and audio devices in home and commercial audio installations. The twin-core conductor with 1 mm2 cross-section per core and flexible PVC insulation is designed for low-voltage audio signals and offers a straightforward solution for stereo, multiroom systems, wall routing and long speaker runs where reliable conduction and easy handling are required.
Advantages
This speaker cable combines a compact 2 x 1 mm cross-section with flexible PVC insulation to simplify installation in cavities, conduits and along skirting boards. The 100 m spool format reduces the need for multiple joins on longer runs and supports continuous routing of left and right channels or multiple speaker zones. The black outer colour provides a discreet finish for visible runs and the twin-core design keeps polarity identification and wiring neat.
Suitable for
- Home stereo speaker connections
- Multiroom audio wiring and zone distribution
- In-wall or surface routing in residential or light commercial settings
- Short to medium-length speaker runs and amplifier-to-speaker links
When it may not be suitable
This cable is specified for low-voltage audio signals and may not be appropriate for installations requiring higher current capacity or professional heavy-duty speaker systems that demand larger conductor cross-sections. It is not designed as a mains power cable or for outdoor exposure unless additional protective measures are taken; prolonged or direct outdoor exposure can degrade PVC insulation.
Key specifications
- Conductor configuration: twin-core
- Conductor cross-section: 1.0 mm² per core
- Length: 100 m spool
- Insulation material: flexible PVC
- Colour: black
- Intended signal type: low-voltage audio (speaker-level)
How to use
Route the LP SMYp speaker cable from the amplifier or receiver to each speaker, maintaining correct polarity throughout the run. Strip the insulation carefully to expose the conductors, avoiding nicking the copper. Terminate the conductors using appropriate connectors (banana plugs, spade lugs, or screw terminals) or by secure soldering, depending on the equipment. For long runs, ensure solid connections at both ends and avoid tight bends or kinks that could damage the conductor or insulation. If running inside walls, follow local building codes and, where required, use in-wall rated conduit or additional protective sheathing.
What to consider before purchase
- Verify that 1.0 mm² conductor cross-section meets the current and length requirements of your speakers and amplifier.
- Consider whether in-wall use requires fire-rated or in-wall certified cable in your jurisdiction.
- Confirm that a 100 m spool length fits your planned routing to minimise joins.
- Decide on termination type (bare wire, banana plugs, spade lugs) and whether you need additional connectors or tools.
Usage recommendations
For reliable audio performance, keep speaker runs as short as practical and maintain correct polarity. Use secure terminations and avoid sharp bends; if routing through walls, comply with local regulations and consider protective conduit. For higher-power systems or very long runs, evaluate using larger cross-section cable to reduce loss.
