Cables Direct Online 18/2 100ft Speaker Wire CL2 18AWG CCA

Cables Direct Online 100FT 18/2 speaker wire is a CL2-rated, copper-clad aluminum (CCA) 18AWG cable supplied in an easy-pull box for reliable in-wall audio and low-voltage runs.

This 100-foot spool of 18/2 speaker wire is built for home and light commercial installations where flexibility, clear routing, and code-compliant in-wall use matter. The cable combines a multi-strand CCA conductor with a flexible white PVC jacket, rip cord for faster stripping, and sequential markings on an easy-pull box so you can measure and feed the exact length you need without tangles or waste.

How does this cable perform for in-wall speaker and low-voltage runs?

The 18AWG configuration uses 43 strands of 0.16mm wire in each conductor, delivering a balance of flexibility and signal capacity suitable for typical residential speaker distances and low-voltage circuits. The CCA conductor supports decent signal transfer while keeping weight and cost down compared with pure copper alternatives.

• 43-strand conductors improve bendability and routing around corners.
• 18 gauge (18AWG) is appropriate for most short-to-medium speaker runs.
• CCA offers corrosion resistance and lower cost versus solid copper.
• Sealed PVC jacket reduces interference and protects conductors in-wall.

Is this cable safe and code-compatible for in-wall installation?

Yes—the outer jacket is CL2 rated, which meets National Electrical Code requirements for many types of in-wall and concealed low-voltage wiring in residential and commercial spaces. The jacket includes a rip cord for safe, quick stripping without nicking the conductors.

• CL2 rating for compliance with common in-wall low-voltage rules.
• Rip cord simplifies insulation removal and speeds installation.
• White jacket blends into drywall and trim for a discreet finish.
• Sequential markings every two feet help track remaining cable.

What installation conveniences does the easy-pull box and product design provide?

The cable ships in a compact easy-pull box to reduce snarls and make long runs manageable. Sequential length markings prevent over-purchasing or unexpected shortfalls, while the pliable CCA strands let you thread the wire through studs, conduits, and tight bends with minimal effort.

• Easy-pull dispensing minimizes tangles during long pulls.
• Two-foot interval markings for quick length estimation on site.
• Pliable conductor and jacket for neat routing behind walls and trim.
• Lightweight spool eases handling for a single installer.

Who is this for? Installers, DIY homeowners, and integrators who need an affordable, flexible speaker and low-voltage cable for in-wall routing will find this 100FT Cables Direct Online 18/2 CCA speaker wire well suited. It’s ideal for surround sound wiring, distributed audio, LED low-voltage feeds, and security sensor runs where CL2 compliance, ease of installation, and cost-effectiveness are priorities. If your project requires pure oxygen-free copper for very long runs or maximum conductivity, consider upgrading to a copper alternative; for most typical installations, this CCA 18AWG cable provides a practical balance of performance and value.
