GEARit Speaker Wire 14 Gauge 100 ft, UL CL3 Rated 14 Gauge Wire Copper Wire with Polarity Mark, Audio Cable for in-Wall, Home, Car,Outdoor, Garden, Commercial Audio Systems, OFC (Black,2-Conductors)

This is pretty decent wire. All copper, none of that garbage aluminum stuff. The sheathing is tough, and this would be good for outdoor applications. The only downside is that stripping the ends cleanly can be a bit tricky, like with UF cable. I found that using the next size up on my stripping tools left just enough material to where I could score and remove the ends without damaging the strands. After I did this a few times it became much easier. Very heavy duty and good quality. Do NOT cheap out. Get this stuff.

Worked perfectly for a drive-in speaker conversion I was working on.

Good wiee. Be suee to get ofc and not the cca. Much better conduction and quality. Good price too.

Great wire, cutting the sheathing without nicking the wire is tricky.. Just don't score it to deep, bend back and forth a little, then pull on the sheathing..

Great find

This high quality cable was exactly what I needed. I purchased a moderately expensive low voltage lighting set that came with generic 14AWG direct burial cable. That would have been fine, but I needed to mount the transformer inside my basement, and since the cable passes into the interior of the house, it needs to pass the CL3 requirements for fire resistance. I contacted GearIT's Customer Service Department just to be sure the cable met the fire safety requirements, and also that it can be used for low voltage lighting (it's called speaker wire). The rep responded to my email immediately and cited the fire rating standards and confirmed the suitability for 12V landscape lighting and interior pass-through. She even gave me a few additional cautions about making sure I don't exceed a 15 amp load (transformer is 10 amp so I'm good on that), and also took the time to comment on my overall plan in terms of the number of cable runs and their length (which could cause voltage drop if they were too long). The cable arrived quickly and appears to be very high quality, with CL3 markings on the jacket and a small spec sheet showing the CL3 rating. Some people comment about the cable being too tightly coiled when it is removed from the spool, but I didn't encounter that issue at all. I'm really impressed with the GearIT product, and their Customer Service Department is one of the best I have ever dealt with!

Oxygen free copper stranded copper wire is what you want for speaker wire and this is it! Copper is getting very expensive, but for long term use, it is worth it. Copper coated aluminum is getting popular because it is cheaper. But copper and aluminum expand at different rates and eventually the copper will flake off like paint often flakes off plastic. So for something that is going to be reusable and last for years and decades, you want oxygen free copper for speaker and signal wires. 14-gauge or 1/14 of an inch in diameter is thick enough that it would be very hard to beat professionally in sound quality with thicker, more expensive gauges, usually the best bang for your buck. I used to use 12-gauge, but the cost is so much higher and sound improvement is so hard to tell in side by side testing that I am now sold on 14-gauge. This is my choice and the black color casing hides the red and black wires quite well and can also be used inside of walls or buried in the ground outdoors. My speakers are black and so are the speaker stands so an uncovered black wire shows less than other colors.

Exactly what I ordered!!!

Great cable. Fast delivery. What more could you ask for?

Cavo di qualità, ideale x installazione all’ esterno

Good quality cables. Will definitely get more of these in the future.

Have not used it yet but looks great quality

Ok
