Wirepath NST-162-LS-500-BLK Audio Wire 500 Ft Black

Product Description

The WIREPATH NST-162-LS-500-BLK is a 500-foot spool of non-plenum audio wire designed for low-voltage audio distribution installations. Supplied nest-packed in a pull box, this wire is intended for in-wall or in-ceiling routing in non-plenum-rated spaces such as standard stud bays and drop ceilings where plenum fire-rating is not required. The black jacket provides a clean, discreet appearance in finished spaces. Licensed electricians and low-voltage systems installers work with this cable type for whole-home audio, speaker distribution, and structured wiring projects.

This wire is suited for residential and light commercial audio wiring applications where a non-plenum jacket meets local code requirements. The 500-foot nest-in-box format feeds cleanly during pulls, reducing kinks and tangles on multi-zone speaker runs. Typical installations include distributed audio systems, in-wall speaker feeds, and multi-room AV wiring projects in wood-frame or metal-stud construction.

Key Features

• 500-foot length supplied in a nest-in-box format for clean, tangle-free pulls
• Non-plenum (CL2 or CL3-class) jacket rated for standard in-wall and in-ceiling spaces
• Black jacket finish for discreet routing in finished residential and commercial spaces
• Designed for low-voltage audio distribution and speaker wiring applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style non-plenum audio wire for residential and light commercial low-voltage speaker and audio distribution systems installed in non-plenum-rated wall and ceiling cavities.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or electrician in compliance with applicable NEC low-voltage wiring articles and local building codes. Confirm with the authority having jurisdiction that a non-plenum jacket rating is acceptable for the routing path before installation. Power down any connected amplifiers or audio source equipment before terminating conductors. Do not route non-plenum-rated cable through HVAC air-handling plenums or air ducts.
