The copper-clad aluminum (CCA) conductors deliver good conductivity and lighter weight compared with pure copper, while the outer jacket is flame-retardant and flexible for pulling through studs, conduit, or tight bends. Sequential foot markings and clear red\/black polarity make layout and wiring faster for home theater, patio speakers, car audio, or commercial installs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this wire meet safety and in-wall requirements?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe GEARit 14 AWG cable is CL3 rated, which means it is made to comply with common building and fire-safety standards for in-wall low-voltage speaker wiring. The jacket resists fraying and has flame-retardant properties, reducing risk during concealed installations.
