Speaker cable SMYp 2 x 0.22 mm, single-pair black, 300 m reel

SMYp speaker cable 2 x 0.22 mm on a 300 m reel is a straightforward two-conductor cable intended for permanent audio wiring in homes, offices and commercial spaces. The black single-pair design provides a continuous run long enough for multiroom audio installations, public-address lines or fixed in-wall speaker connections. With a compact conductor cross-section, the cable is optimized for signal routing where long lengths are required and space behind walls or in conduits is limited.

Advantages

The speaker cable offers a long continuous length on a single reel, reducing the need for joins and simplifying installation over extended runs. Its two-conductor construction with 0.22 mm cross-section balances flexibility and discrete appearance for concealed routing. The black outer sheath allows the cable to blend into darker interiors or to remain visually unobtrusive in service ducts and behind equipment.

Suitable for

• Fixed in-wall speaker wiring in residential or commercial buildings
• Multiroom audio installations requiring long continuous runs
• Public-address systems where extended cable length is needed
• Concealed routing in conduits, trunking or service spaces

When it may not be suitable

This cable has relatively small conductor cross-section and is not intended for high-power professional loudspeaker applications where thicker gauge cable is required to minimise power loss and heating. It is also not designed for frequent flexing or portable use; constant movement or repeated bending can degrade conductor life and connection reliability.

Key specifications

• Conductor configuration: two conductors, single-pair
• Conductor cross-section: 0.22 mm² per conductor
• Length: 300 metres on a single reel
• Sheath colour: black
• Intended use: fixed installation for loudspeakers and audio equipment

How to use

Plan the run route and measure required lengths, allowing extra for terminations and slack. Cut the cable from the reel and strip the outer sheath and conductor insulation to expose the inner cores. Observe correct polarity when connecting to amplifiers and speakers to maintain phase coherence. Secure the cable at regular intervals when routing in walls or conduits to prevent strain on terminations. For wall mounting, use suitable staples or clips designed for low-voltage cabling; avoid crushing the cable. Make terminations with proper connectors or by soldering/twisting and insulating with heat shrink or quality electrical tape, following local electrical codes.

What to consider before purchase

• Required conductor gauge for your speaker power and run length to avoid excessive power loss
• Whether fixed in-wall installation is needed or a more flexible, portable cable is preferable
• Compliance with local building regulations for in-wall low-voltage cabling
• Colour and appearance for visible runs or concealment behind panels

Usage recommendations

For runs exceeding typical speaker distances, check voltage drop and impedance effects; when in doubt, choose a thicker gauge for longer runs or higher-power systems. Label both ends of each run to simplify installation and future maintenance, and test continuity and polarity before finalising wall closures.
