Voltive 18/4 Low-Voltage Wire 100ft CL3 Direct-Burial

Voltive 18/4 low-voltage cable is a 100-foot, 18AWG, 4-conductor stranded oxygen-free copper wire rated for in-wall CL3 use and direct burial installations.

This spool delivers versatile, building-code-friendly wiring for speakers, LED lighting, security systems, and other low-voltage projects. Constructed with 42-strand oxygen-free copper conductors and a durable black jacket, the cable balances signal performance with installation convenience. It is UL listed, CL3 rated for in-wall use, and direct-burial approved for ground runs without conduit.

How does this wire perform in audio and lighting systems?

Because the conductors are oxygen-free copper and finely stranded, the Voltive 18/4 minimizes signal loss and stays flexible for routing behind walls or around corners. The 18 gauge size provides a good compromise between current capacity and manageability for most low-voltage speaker lines and LED runs.

• 42-strand OFC conductors for lower resistance and improved longevity
• Stranded construction for ease of pulling and bending
• Four conductors allow one cable to handle stereo pairs or combined power/data runs
• 18AWG suited for short- to medium-length speaker and LED circuits

Can I install it inside walls or bury it outdoors?

Yes — this Voltive wire carries a CL3 rating for in-wall and riser installations in residential and certain commercial settings, and it is also rated for direct burial. Still follow local codes and building regulations when routing through walls or trenches, and confirm any required separation from mains wiring.

• CL3 rated for in-wall and between-floor use where applicable
• Direct-burial approval eliminates the need for conduit in many outdoor runs
• UL listed for verified safety standards
• Printed jacket shows UL info and foot markers for code and measurement ease

What features speed up installation and maintenance?

The spool is engineered with time-saving details that reduce preparation and measuring steps on the job. A quick-strip sleeve and integrated ripcord simplify jacket removal, while the printed jacket includes foot markers and re-order information to keep inventory and measurement organized.

• Quick-strip sleeve for faster conductor exposure
• Ripcord under the jacket avoids nicking conductors during strip
• Jacket printing includes foot markers for accurate length tracking
• 100ft spool size balances coverage with manageable coil handling

Is this wire compatible with my equipment and connectors?

The four stranded conductors are compatible with common low-voltage connectors, screw terminals, and quick-disconnect fittings used in audio, lighting, and alarm equipment. Confirm connector clamp types support stranded 18AWG to ensure solid mechanical and electrical connections.

• Works with screw terminals and spring clamps accepting stranded 18AWG
• Four conductors let you run multiple channels or combined power/data in one jacket
• OFC conductors solder and crimp reliably for lasting connections
• Black jacket provides discreet routing behind equipment and trims

Who is this for: Installers, integrators, and DIYers who need a durable, flexible low-voltage cable that meets in-wall safety requirements and can also be buried without conduit. Choose Voltive 18/4 when you want oxygen-free stranded copper conductors, clear installation aids, and a versatile four-conductor layout for home theater, lighting, security, or other low-voltage projects.
