Wirepath NST-162-500-BLU Speaker Wire 500 Ft Blue

Product Description

The WIREPATH NST-162-500-BLU is a 500-foot spool of non-plenum speaker wire supplied in a nestbox configuration and finished in blue jacket. This wire is designed for permanent audio distribution runs in residential and light commercial installations where plenum-rated cable is not required. The blue jacket aids in cable identification in multi-run systems and in structured wiring environments. Installers pull this wire through standard stud bays, drop ceilings, and interior wall cavities to connect amplifiers, receivers, and distribution equipment to passive loudspeakers.

This cable is suited for in-wall and in-ceiling speaker installations in residential homes, multi-room audio systems, home theaters, and light commercial audio distribution projects. The nestbox packaging allows for clean, tangle-free payout during installation pulls, reducing slack management time on larger jobs. It is not rated for use in air-handling plenum spaces and must be routed in compliance with local building codes that govern non-plenum wiring.

Key Features

• 500-foot nestbox spool for smooth, tangle-free cable payout on long runs
• Blue jacket color supports circuit identification in multi-zone audio installations
• Non-plenum rated for use in standard stud-bay, conduit, and non-air-handling pathways
• Designed for passive speaker connections in residential and light commercial audio systems

Compatibility

Designed as a standard non-plenum speaker wire for use in residential and light commercial audio distribution systems where local codes permit non-plenum cable in the installed pathway.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage technician or electrician familiar with structured wiring practices and applicable local codes. Confirm that the intended cable pathway does not pass through air-handling plenum spaces, which require plenum-rated cable per NEC Article 800 and local amendments. De-energize connected amplifiers and source equipment before making terminations. Maintain minimum bend radius requirements and avoid stapling through the cable jacket during rough-in.
