Cables Direct Online 250FT 18/2 Speaker Wire White CL2-Rated CCA Easy-Pull Box

250 feet of 18-gauge, 2-conductor Copper Clad Aluminum (CCA) speaker wire in a CL2-rated easy-pull box for safe in-wall audio and low-voltage installations.

This 250FT 18/2 speaker cable from Cables Direct Online is designed for in-wall home audio and general low-voltage wiring where flexibility, cost-efficiency, and code compliance matter. The cable uses Copper Clad Aluminum conductors formed from 43 strands of 0.16mm wire to balance conductivity and light weight, protected by a white CL2-rated jacket with a rip cord for fast stripping. The spool sits inside an easy-pull carton with sequential markings every two feet so installers can measure remaining length without unspooling the whole roll.

How well does this speaker wire perform for in-wall audio?

The 18AWG CCA construction provides reliable signal transmission for most residential speaker setups and other low-voltage circuits. While pure copper conducts slightly better, CCA is lighter and more affordable, making it a practical choice for long runs and multi-room layouts.

• 43-strand 0.16mm conductors for flexible routing around corners
• 18 AWG thickness suitable for typical speakers and short-to-medium runs
• CCA material offers corrosion resistance and lower weight than solid copper
• Sequential markings every 2 feet for quick length checks

Is this cable safe for running inside walls?

Yes — the outer jacket is NEC CL2-rated for in-wall use in many residential and commercial spaces. The jacket is designed to resist abrasion, remain pliable for tight spaces, and includes a built-in rip cord to simplify jacket removal without damaging conductors.

• NEC CL2 classification for low-voltage in-wall installations
• Durable white PVC jacket for neat, code-friendly concealment
• Rip cord speeds up stripping and reduces tool use
• Flexible jacket eases routing through studs and around obstacles

What makes the easy-pull box useful for installers?

The packaging keeps the cable tidy and reduces kinks during long pulls, improving speed and reducing waste. The box’s feed hole and measured markings let one person measure and deploy cable without dragging a loose spool, which is ideal for attic or basement runs.

• Cardboard easy-pull box prevents tangles and protects cable during transport
• Feed hole allows single-person pulls through channels and drop ceilings
• Sequential footage markings every two feet for precise length tracking
• Compact packaging saves space in service vehicles and on job sites

Who is this cable best for? This 250FT 18/2 CCA speaker wire is aimed at DIY homeowners, AV installers, and electricians who need an affordable, lightweight, in-wall rated cable for speakers, LED lighting, low-voltage sensors, and similar circuits. It’s well suited for whole-house audio runs, multi-room speaker systems, or running low-voltage signal wiring where ease of pulling, measured footage, and CL2 compliance are priorities. If you require the highest possible conductivity for very long runs or professional-grade studio systems, consider upgrading to a pure copper alternative; otherwise, this Cables Direct Online cable offers strong value and practicality for most residential and light-commercial projects.
