SCP SP-2.5/2-LSZH-BK-500 2-Core Speaker Cable, 14 AWG, Oxygen-Free Copper, 152 m, Black

The SCP SP-2.5/2-LSZH-BK-500 is a professional-grade 2-core speaker cable engineered for high-fidelity audio distribution in both residential and commercial environments. Constructed with 14 AWG oxygen-free copper conductors, this cable provides superior conductivity and minimal signal loss, ensuring clear and accurate sound reproduction over long distances. The cable is encased in a durable black LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket, which is specifically designed to meet stringent safety standards by reducing toxic smoke emissions in the event of a fire.

Advantages

This speaker cable offers exceptional signal integrity due to the use of high-purity oxygen-free copper, which prevents oxidation and maintains consistent audio quality over time. The 14 AWG gauge provides a robust path for power, making it suitable for high-performance audio systems that require reliable current delivery. Furthermore, the LSZH jacket provides an essential safety feature for installations in public buildings, schools, and offices where fire safety regulations are mandatory, without compromising the flexibility or ease of installation of the cable.

Suitable for

• Professional audio system installations
• Commercial sound distribution projects
• Residential home theater setups
• Public buildings requiring fire-rated cabling
• Long-run speaker connections

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not intended for outdoor use where it may be exposed to direct sunlight or harsh weather conditions, as the LSZH jacket is optimized for indoor safety rather than UV resistance. Additionally, it is not suitable for high-voltage electrical power distribution or data networking applications.

Key specifications

• Conductor material: Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC)
• Wire gauge: 14 AWG
• Number of cores: 2
• Jacket material: Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH)
• Cable length: 152 meters
• Color: Black

How to use

To install the cable, strip the outer LSZH jacket carefully using a standard wire stripper to expose the inner conductors. Ensure that the copper strands are not damaged during the stripping process. Connect the conductors to your amplifier and speaker terminals, ensuring correct polarity is maintained throughout the system. The cable is designed to be pulled through conduits or wall cavities; however, avoid sharp bends or excessive tension during installation to maintain the integrity of the internal conductors.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required cable length for your specific installation layout.
• Ensure the 14 AWG gauge is appropriate for the power requirements of your speakers.
• Confirm that the LSZH rating meets the local building and fire safety codes for your project.
• Check the compatibility of the cable diameter with your existing wall plates or connectors.

Usage recommendations

For optimal audio performance, ensure that all connections are secure and free from corrosion. When routing the cable, keep it away from high-voltage electrical lines to prevent electromagnetic interference.
