Wirepath NST-162-1000-WH Speaker Wire 1000 Ft White

Product Description

The WIREPATH NST-162-1000-WH is a 1000-foot spool of 16-gauge, 2-conductor speaker wire packaged in a nestbox format for clean, tangle-free pulls on the job. Finished in white, it is suited for in-wall and surface-mounted audio distribution runs in residential and light commercial installations. This is a non-plenum rated cable, meaning it is listed for use in standard non-plenum wall cavities and conduit runs where plenum-rated materials are not required by code. Low-voltage installers and AV technicians are the primary trades who specify and install this product.

This cable is appropriate for distributing audio signals from amplifiers and receivers to passive speaker loads throughout a building. Typical applications include whole-home audio systems, conference room speaker wiring, and retail background music installations. The nestbox packaging allows the wire to feed freely without tangling during installation, reducing waste and pull time on longer runs. It is intended for dry or damp interior environments where non-plenum cable is code-permissible.

Key Features

• 1000-foot nestbox spool for continuous pulls with minimal snag
• White jacket blends with standard drywall and trim for clean aesthetics
• Non-plenum rated for use in standard wall cavities and conduit per applicable code
• 16-gauge construction suits typical residential and light commercial speaker runs
• Sold as a single spool unit for straightforward project estimating

Compatibility

Designed as a standard non-plenum speaker wire for use in residential and light commercial audio distribution systems where non-plenum cable installation is permitted by local building and fire codes.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or qualified AV integrator in accordance with NEC Article 725 and any applicable local codes governing non-plenum audio cable. Confirm with the authority having jurisdiction that non-plenum cable is permitted in the intended pathway before pulling wire. Do not install this cable in air-handling plenum spaces or return-air ceiling cavities where plenum-rated CL2P or CL3P cable is required. Secure cable runs at regular intervals per code and keep low-voltage wiring separated from line-voltage conductors to prevent interference.
