Monoprice CL2 Speaker Wire – 4-Conductor 16AWG, 100ft, Black

Upgrade your home audio with Monoprice CL2 Speaker Wire

Designed for dependable signal transfer, Monoprice CL2 Speaker Wire uses four conductors of ultra-high purity oxygen-free copper. With a copper content greater than 99.95%, the conductors deliver low inherent resistance, helping your system respond more faithfully to music or movie dialogue across typical listening environments.

Compared with copper-clad aluminum (CCA) alternatives, pure bare copper maintains higher conductivity. The difference in resistance matters when the lowest speaker impedance dips during dynamic passages, and a lower combined load on the amplifier can translate to clearer highs, tighter bass, and more consistent response.

Each conductor is color-coded with a PVC jacket for easy polarity identification during installation or reshuffling of components. The outer jacket is black and CL2-rated, signaling fire safety compliance for in-wall use in many residential buildings.

Key design features

• High-purity oxygen-free copper (>99.95%) supports lower inherent resistance than copper-clad aluminum.
• Pure Bare Copper conducts more efficiently, helping preserve the intended load characteristics of your speakers.
• Color-coded each conductor for straightforward polarity identification during setup or re-wiring.
• CL2-rated jacket satisfies common in-wall safety requirements for residential installations.

Tech specs at a glance

• Conductor: four (4) conductors of bare copper (>99.95% purity).
• Gauge: 16 AWG.
• Length: 100 ft.
• Jacket: black CL2-rated PVC with color-coded individual conductors.

Practical usage and considerations

• Ideal for home theaters and stereo setups where clean signal transfer and reliable insulation matter.
• 100-foot length provides flexible routing through walls, attics, under floors, or along baseboards.
• Four-conductor design supports multiple wiring scenarios, including bi-amping or multi-channel configurations, when paired with compatible gear.

Note: While the wire’s high-purity copper offers notable conductivity advantages, performance depends on the entire system—from connectors to amplifiers to speaker impedance. Using a quality wire can help the system behave as designed, without overpromising audible improvements in every room.

With Monoprice, you get a practical, safety-conscious solution that pairs well with a wide range of speakers and audio setups, offering a straightforward path to cleaner, more reliable signal transmission.
