Speaker cable SCP 16/2OFC-HD-WT-D with 16 AWG conductors, 152 m, white, male-to-male

SCP 16/2OFC-HD-WT-D is a 152 m (500 ft) white speaker cable with 16 AWG oxygen-free copper conductors and male-to-male terminations. It is built for professional audio installations where reliable low-resistance signal transmission is required, including in-wall runs, outdoor exposed routing, direct-bury applications and long single-box pull jobs. The cable uses high strand-count conductors in twisted-pair (unshielded) construction and a heavy-duty UV-treated PVC jacket for durability and ease of installation.

Advantages

The cable offers high-purity oxygen-free copper conductors and a high strand count for improved flexibility and consistent low-resistance performance. Its heavy-duty UV-resistant PVC jacket is formulated for sunlight exposure and direct-burial suitability while remaining easy to strip and pull. Sequential meter/foot markings and zone/room outlet labeling simplify identification during large installations.

Suitable for

• Fixed in-wall speaker wiring for residential or commercial venues
• Home theater and dedicated audio installations
• Stage, studio, and PA system speaker runs
• Outdoor runs and direct-burial routing where sunlight resistance and rugged jacket are needed
• Long single-box pull installs where a 152 m pull-box is required

When it may not be suitable

This unshielded twisted-pair speaker cable is not intended for applications that require electromagnetic shielding or balanced audio line conductors. For installations needing shielded cable to prevent interference or for low-level signal wiring where dedicated shielded audio cable is specified, choose an appropriately shielded product.

Key specifications

• Conductor: 16 AWG, high strand-count oxygen-free copper
• Construction: Twisted pair, unshielded
• Length: 152 m (500 ft)

• Color: White
• Termination: Male-to-male ready (speaker cable terminations)
• Features: Sequential foot/meter markings and room/zone/outlet labelling

How to use

Run the cable according to local electrical and fire codes for in-wall or outdoor installations. Use the sequential markings to measure and cut to length. Strip the jacket and insulation at terminations using appropriate cable-stripping tools to avoid conductor nicking, then attach compatible male speaker connectors or hard-terminate to speaker posts as required. For direct-bury applications, confirm trench depth and protective measures meet local regulations before backfilling.

What to consider before purchase

• Whether an unshielded speaker cable meets your interference and shielding needs
• Required run length (152 m per box) and whether a single pull-box is sufficient
• Compliance requirements for in-wall or direct-bury installation in your area
• Connector type and termination method you will use (male-to-male compatibility)

Usage recommendations

For best audio performance, keep speaker cable runs as direct as possible, avoid tight bundling with power cables, and use proper gauge and secure terminations. Use the cable’s sequential markings and labels to plan runs and simplify installation logistics.
