SCP 12/4OFC-HD-WT-D 4-Conductor 12 AWG Oxygen-Free Copper Speaker Cable, 152 m, White

The SCP 12/4OFC-HD-WT-D is a professional-grade 4-conductor speaker cable engineered for high-fidelity audio transmission. Featuring 12 AWG oxygen-free copper (OFC) conductors, this cable ensures minimal signal resistance and superior sound clarity across long distances. The robust construction is designed to meet the rigorous demands of both residential home theater setups and complex commercial sound installations, providing a reliable connection for high-performance audio equipment.

Advantages

This speaker cable utilizes high-strand count oxygen-free copper to deliver exceptional signal integrity and reduced interference. The heavy-duty, UV-resistant PVC jacket allows for versatile installation options, including direct burial and outdoor use, while remaining flexible enough for easy routing through walls and conduits. The inclusion of sequential foot and meter markings, along with dedicated labeling zones, significantly simplifies the installation and identification process for technicians and installers.

Suitable for

• High-fidelity home theater audio systems
• Professional commercial sound installations
• In-wall audio wiring
• Outdoor speaker setups and direct burial applications
• Multi-zone audio distribution

When it may not be suitable

This cable may not be the most cost-effective solution for basic, low-power audio setups where standard-grade wiring would suffice. Additionally, its 12 AWG thickness and heavy-duty shielding may be unnecessarily bulky for short-run connections in tight spaces where thinner, more flexible cables are preferred.

Key specifications

• Conductor material: 99.97% Oxygen-Free Copper
• Wire gauge: 12 AWG
• Conductor count: 4
• Cable length: 152 meters
• Jacket type: Heavy Duty Premium UV-resistant PVC
• Certifications: UL Listed, CMR In-Wall Rated, CMX, NEC CL2, CEC CMG FT4, RoHS, CE
• Features: Sequential length markings, easy-strip construction

How to use

To install, measure the required length using the sequential markings on the jacket and cut accordingly. Strip the outer PVC jacket carefully to expose the four internal conductors, then strip the insulation from the individual wires to connect them to your amplifier and speaker terminals. Ensure that the polarity is maintained consistently across all connections to preserve sound quality. The cable is designed for both indoor and outdoor routing, including in-wall and direct burial applications, provided local building codes are followed.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required gauge for your specific speaker power and cable run length
• Ensure the 4-conductor configuration matches your wiring needs
• Check local building regulations regarding in-wall and outdoor cable ratings
• Confirm the total length required for your project

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running speaker cables in parallel with high-voltage electrical lines to prevent electromagnetic interference. Ensure all connections are secure and free from oxidation to maintain the integrity of the oxygen-free copper signal path.
