Comprehensive Connectivty Co. CAC-18-2/P-500 Speaker Cable

Product Description

The COMPREHENSIVE CONNECTIVTY CO. CAC-18-2/P-500 is an 18 AWG two-conductor plain speaker cable supplied in a 500-foot quantity. This cable is designed for carrying audio signals between amplifiers and passive speaker loads in professional and commercial audio distribution systems. The 18 AWG conductor gauge provides adequate current-carrying capacity for standard speaker runs, and the plain jacket construction suits in-wall or in-conduit routing where a low-profile, unshielded cable is appropriate. Audio installers and low-voltage technicians use this cable for background music systems, paging systems, and distributed speaker networks.

This cable applies to commercial and residential audio installations where a bulk spool of speaker wire is needed for multi-zone or multi-speaker deployments. The 500-foot length accommodates longer runs and reduces the need for mid-run splices. It is suited for drop-ceiling plenum spaces when used with conduit, and for surface-mounted or in-wall routing depending on local code requirements. AV integrators and low-voltage contractors typically pull this cable during rough-in or finish phases of construction.

Key Features

• 18 AWG conductor gauge for standard speaker-level signal runs
• Two-conductor configuration for single speaker or stereo channel wiring
• 500-foot bulk quantity reduces splice points on long runs
• Plain jacket construction compatible with conduit and open-air routing
• Sold as a single unit spool for straightforward inventory management

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose bulk speaker cable suitable for passive speaker connections in distributed audio and background music systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or qualified AV integrator in accordance with applicable NEC Article 640 requirements for audio signal cable. Power down amplifiers and audio source equipment before terminating conductors. Maintain minimum bend radius to avoid conductor damage, and avoid running speaker cable parallel to AC power lines for extended distances to reduce noise coupling.
