Belden Inc. 1312A 0101000 Speaker Cable 4C 12 Awg

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. 1312A 0101000 is a 4-conductor, 12 AWG stranded bare copper speaker cable designed for professional audio distribution and security system installations. Each conductor is built with stranded bare copper for flexibility and reliable signal transfer across long runs. The unshielded construction keeps the cable profile lean while still delivering the conductance needed for low-impedance speaker loads. This cable is typically pulled by low-voltage technicians and audio-visual integrators in commercial and residential projects where consistent sound reproduction and code-compliant wiring are required.

This cable is suited for in-wall, conduit, or open-plenum speaker runs in security, background music, public address, and distributed audio systems. It performs in both commercial and residential environments where 4-conductor runs are needed to drive multiple speaker zones from a single cable pull. The stranded bare copper construction supports installations that require flexible routing through tight pathways or around building framing.

Key Features

• 4-conductor configuration supports dual-zone or multi-tap speaker wiring from a single run
• 12 AWG stranded bare copper conductors provide low resistance for longer cable runs
• Unshielded design reduces overall diameter and simplifies termination at speaker and amplifier connections
• Stranded construction improves flexibility for routing through walls, conduit, and junction boxes
• Categorized under security stranded unshielded for audio distribution applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style stranded unshielded speaker cable for use in professional audio, security, and distributed sound systems requiring 4-conductor 12 AWG bare copper wiring.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or qualified audio-visual integrator familiar with NEC Article 725 and Article 640 requirements for audio and signaling cable. De-energize the amplifier or audio distribution system before making any terminations. Avoid running this cable parallel and in close proximity to line-voltage wiring to minimize interference. Do not exceed the cable bend radius during pull-through to protect conductor integrity.
