Questions & Answers

Is there an exact number of ?

You are not just asking for the number of conductors (which is two), but also for how many fine wire threads are A speaker cable's length is an important factor to consider. There should be some knowledge of this information by the seller.

Are you aware of what the cable shield included in the whole cable diameter is? Are you sure 3/8" is correct?

Upon receiving the 7th item on 5/26/2021, we received a small amount of product. A5 mm or *9/32" is what you need

This specifies that it is for in wall use, but does not indicate whether it is UL approved. Will it pass the building codes for in wall use if the UL label is visible?

A copy of UL is attached. The AVLV2 category code is on the com guide card. A description of the markings that should be used on certified wires is provided. On UL's website, you can check if a product has UL certification. You can find us at - If you know the manufacturer name or file number, you can search the certification directory. In order to verify certification, the seller may be able to get you this information.

Listing or classification marks of UL are not permitted to be placed on recognized components or used in conjunction with them. A component should only be considered an eligible component under the Component Recognition Program if it bears the "Marking.". I have read some of the articles on this site about appliance wiring material, and I hope that they will help.

Is it suitable for use outside? Will direct 14/4 speaker wire work as direct burial?

In addition, the wire that I purchased was 14/2 and was not intended for direct burial or in-ground applications You can use walls for this purpose. If you are looking for wire specific to that application, then you should find it. Nonetheless, I would be willing to hang or string it under an eaves or patio roof, as long as it was reasonably sheltered from the elements.

Selected User Reviews For Amazon Basics 14-Gauge Audio Speaker Wire Cable - 99.9% Oxygen-Free Copper, 100 Feet

Take heed of Wisdom's voice
5/5

*Glad to see that you read the reviews! This cable matches my internet modem's incoming coax cable, so that was one of the reasons I selected it. It was time for me to mount a couple of rear surround speakers high on the walls, and I wanted them There is no effect on the existing cable, so I ran it alongside. The receiver I'm installing puts out 100 watts on every channel, so I needed to ensure the size of the conductor could handle both the wattage and the long runs I'm making. For me, the oxygen-enriched air is the best There is no charge for the cable, it has a superior conductance, and it lasts for many longer times. When cable is oxidized, it turns green, so you should cut the wire back to the good conductor area or rip it out altogether when you see this. When I was a boy, my wise father used to tell me this If you can't find time to do it right the first time, how can you possibly get time to do it over, and get it right the second time around? There will be a void in my heart if that old man has passed away.

There are no UL listings, and the device is not rated for in-wall or plenum installations
3/5

It looks like a decent product, but nowhere on the reel or on the cable are there any markings to indicate quality except a list of You should beware of a buyer. The lack of a rating would not allow me to run this wire in wall or attic, or even in a hidden location. Imagine that you had a house fire and found out that this cable had caused it. What would you do if the loss was covered by your insurance company? There must be some sort of rating on the outside sheath of every cable made in the USA, regardless of the temperature, voltage, or.

It does not have an official rating (required for inspection)! It is not printed on this product to show any rating, but if it is to be used in walls, it should have one
3/5

A failure of this electrical test will result in a fine. Due to the fact that I'm utilizing professional contractors to build the addition, inspections are necessary. As far as I see, it looked like an excellent product, and I have no doubt I would not have any problems with it. It's really hard for me to decide if I want to take that risk now.
It clearly stated it was CL2 rated, which is an approved measure to pass an inspection. The fact that the supposed CL2 rating of the wire is not printed on the wire products (or the spool) is absurd! *By the way. While this is a Chinese product, you should not see its advertised CL2 rating printed on the product itself simply because it's a Chinese product. This missed opportunity how could it have been Amazon! Come on in!.

CAUTION Do not use this cable inside the wall or in the The inspector who inspected the house noticed that the cable (amazon basic 14 gauge cable) had no marking on it, so he asked for the cable package to verify that it was certified for use inside the wall
3/5

The packaging of the product does not include certification information for use on walls either. When I contacted Amazon, they told me that they do not have certification for the cable, meaning that it does not meet the requirements for use on a As a result, I had to purchase a new cable and discard this one. When using this cable inside a wall or in an attic, we strongly recommend not purchasing it.

A really good product
5/5

It has always been a problem in my house with interference caused by a nearby radio tower. My subwoofer is no longer noisily humming because I have RF filters installed and a subwoofer isolation transformer from Blue Jeans. There was a bi-amp system on my main tower and center speakers Depending on whether they are wired or 6 ohm (since they support the latter). The wires I used were an older stock of 14-gauge speaker wire from Best Buy and Dynex wire from Staples. Additionally, I have 4 surrounds (12 ohm dipole or bipole), that each have single pair of posts, and they are all wired with various runs of length to go (the longest run is forty feet long and goes around the molding in my living I had severe static with 7. I think it was the right back surround speaker (the one closest to the radio tower). The track consists of one audio track. After changing the speakers, I still observed static in the same position, so I was aware of Using 99 as the comparison, I found a difference of five. I decided to use 9% O2 free and CL2 rated wire because I was not planning to run the wire under my floors (which would be beyond a hassle) but I did like the larger diameter white insulation (it's not too conspicuous since the wall molding is white). There's no question that the Amazon brand wiring is of really good quality (I assume this is the case for Mediabridge, too). In my application, 14 gauge was appropriate, and it does turn out that the 14 gauge has a larger diameter than my old wiring (when I stripe my wire, I use the 12 gauge setting because 14 would cut some of the It proves that not all "14 gauge" wire is the same and with Amazon's wire, you are getting more value than you are paying Rather than using jumpers that came with the speakers, I opted to use some of the copper wire to link the pair of binding posts on the mains (since it is much better quality than When I was bisexual, I would occasionally go out in public Originally, I needed this wire to draw some more detail on my towers, but its quality is such that it is not necessary. We definitely notice more loudness and there's no static (perhaps this is due to the quality of the speakers and the fact that the red and black wires twisted together allows interference to be reduced). Only one other feature I haven't mentioned is that the outer jacket does have markings on It is useful to be able to figure out the runs of speakers easily.

It is actual copper, well constructed, and clearly Copper speaker wire that is rated to be installed inside a wall

This is NOT a The rest I have to say is not worth mentioning. There's no problem with it, it just works.
