Scp 16/2sp-db-1000 Direct Burial Speaker Cable 1000 Ft

Product Description

The SCP 16/2sp-db-1000 is a 16 AWG, 2-conductor direct burial speaker cable designed for outdoor and underground audio distribution installations. Each conductor is built from 65-strand oxygen free copper with a gel fill jacket that seals out moisture and resists corrosion in wet or buried environments. The black outer jacket provides UV resistance for above-grade runs. This 1000-foot spool is suited for large commercial or residential audio system installations where long cable runs are required and trenching is part of the scope of work.

This cable is used in outdoor distributed audio systems, landscape speaker installations, and permanent underground runs between amplifiers and exterior speakers. It is commonly specified in commercial hospitality, municipal, and high-end residential projects where direct burial eliminates conduit requirements. Installers working on multi-zone outdoor audio systems will find the 1000-foot spool length practical for large property installations without splicing mid-run.

Key Features

• 16 AWG 2-conductor construction suitable for standard 8-ohm and 4-ohm speaker loads
• 65-strand oxygen free copper conductors for low resistance and signal integrity over long runs
• Gel fill construction seals conductors against moisture intrusion in direct burial applications
• Black jacket rated for UV exposure on above-grade or surface-mounted segments
• 1000-foot spool minimizes splices on large-property or commercial installations

Compatibility

Designed as a direct burial replacement or new-install speaker cable for residential and commercial outdoor distributed audio systems requiring 16 AWG 2-conductor wiring.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or qualified audio systems integrator in accordance with applicable NEC low-voltage wiring requirements. Bury cable at the depth required by local code, typically a minimum of 6 inches for direct burial low-voltage cable. Power down all amplifier channels before terminating connections. Avoid sharp bends or kinks during pull-through to preserve strand integrity and impedance consistency.
