Speaker cable InstallBase IBA100 2x1.00 mm² transparent flat 100 m

InstallBase IBA100 is a two-conductor speaker cable with 1.00 mm² copper conductors on a 100 m roll. The transparent, flat jacket reduces visual impact and allows discreet routing under carpets, along skirting boards or behind furniture while keeping conductors aligned for straightforward installation. The cable is intended for low-voltage audio signal transmission between amplifiers, receivers and passive loudspeakers in domestic and light commercial audio setups.

Advantages

The flat construction minimizes cable thickness and helps the cable remain concealed beneath floor finishes. A transparent outer sheath makes it easy to verify conductor positioning and polarity marking during termination. Conductors with 1.00 mm² cross-sectional area balance flexibility and current-carrying capacity for typical home speaker loads. The 100 m roll format reduces joins for runs and enables continuous installation along long walls or multi-room layouts.

Suitable for

• Connecting passive loudspeakers to amplifiers or AV receivers in living rooms and home theatres
• Background music systems in small offices, cafés and retail spaces
• Concealed or low-profile installations under carpets, skirting boards or along baseboards
• DIY audio projects and temporary event sound setups requiring long cable runs

Key specifications

• Conductor configuration: 2 conductors (parallel)
• Conductor cross-section: 1.00 mm² per conductor
• Length: 100 m
• Outer jacket: transparent, flat profile for low-profile routing
• Intended use: low-voltage speaker/audio signal transmission
• Flexible construction suitable for routing around corners and through narrow gaps

How to use

Measure the required cable length allowing service loops and routing around obstacles, then cut the roll to size. Strip the outer sheath carefully to expose the two conductors without nicking the copper strands. Observe polarity marking on the conductors when connecting to speaker terminals and amplifier outputs to maintain correct phase. Use appropriate clamps, banana plugs or spade connectors if required; ensure secure mechanical and electrical connections. Route the cable flat under carpets or along skirting, avoiding tight bends and sources of heat. For permanent installations, secure the cable with low-profile clips or adhesive channels where local regulations require mechanical fixing.

Usage recommendations

For best audio performance keep run lengths as short as practical and avoid running speaker cable in parallel with mains power cables to reduce interference. When longer runs are necessary, verify amplifier compatibility with the conductor cross-section and consider grouping multiple conductors in parallel only if the equipment manufacturer permits it. Inspect terminations for corrosion and tightness during periodic maintenance.
