Genesis Cable 52845008 16/4 Direct Burial Audio Cable

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 52845008 is a 16 AWG 4-conductor direct burial outdoor audio cable designed for permanent underground speaker and audio distribution installations. Built with an oxygen-free stranded conductor construction using 65-strand wire, this cable delivers clean signal transmission with minimal interference. The direct burial jacket resists moisture, UV exposure, and soil conditions without requiring conduit. It is typically installed by low-voltage electricians and audio system integrators working on residential or commercial landscape audio projects.

This cable is suited for outdoor audio systems where conductors must be routed underground between amplifiers, zone controllers, and landscape speakers. The 4-conductor configuration supports stereo speaker runs or dual-zone wiring from a single cable pull. The black jacket blends with most burial and surface-routing environments. It is sold as a 500-foot coil, making it practical for larger property installations or multi-zone speaker layouts.

Key Features

• 16 AWG 4-conductor configuration supports stereo or dual-zone outdoor speaker wiring
• 65-strand oxygen-free copper construction reduces signal loss and resists corrosion
• Direct burial rated jacket withstands moisture, UV, and underground soil exposure
• 500-foot coil minimizes splice points on longer runs
• Black jacket finish for low-visibility surface or underground routing

Compatibility

Designed as a direct burial outdoor audio cable suitable for use with standard low-voltage landscape speaker systems and audio distribution equipment requiring 16 AWG 4-conductor wiring.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage technician or licensed electrician in accordance with NEC Article 725 and local low-voltage wiring codes. De-energize the audio system and disconnect the amplifier before terminating conductors. Bury at a depth appropriate for low-voltage direct burial cable per local code requirements, and avoid routing near high-voltage lines or sources of electrical interference. Do not nick or nick the oxygen-free conductors during stripping, as damage to strands increases resistance and degrades signal quality.
