Wirepath NST-162-500-BLK Speaker Wire 500 Ft Nestbox

Product Description

The WIREPATH NST-162-500-BLK is a 500-foot spool of non-plenum speaker wire packaged in a nestbox format for clean, tangle-free pulls on the job site. Designed for in-wall and general audio distribution runs in residential and light commercial applications, this wire is rated for non-plenum environments where standard NEC Class 2 wiring methods apply. The nestbox packaging allows cable to feed smoothly during installation without kinking or tangling, reducing waste and pull time. Electricians and low-voltage audio installers working on whole-home audio, background music systems, or distributed speaker networks will find the 500-foot length well suited to multi-room projects.

This speaker wire is intended for non-plenum spaces including standard stud-bay wall cavities, conduit runs, and surface-mount applications where a plenum-rated (CMP) jacket is not required by code. It is appropriate for residential new construction, retrofit audio installs, and light commercial background music systems. The nestbox delivery format is a practical advantage in occupied spaces or tight mechanical rooms where bulk spools on a reel are difficult to manage.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose non-plenum speaker wire for residential and light commercial audio distribution systems. Consult local AHJ and NEC requirements to confirm jacket rating is appropriate for the intended installation environment.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or electrician familiar with NEC Class 2 wiring requirements. Verify with the authority having jurisdiction that non-plenum-rated wire is permitted in the planned routing path before pulling cable. Do not route this wire through air-handling spaces or return-air plenums where a CMP-rated jacket is required. Maintain proper separation from line-voltage conductors as required by the NEC to prevent interference and code violations.
