Wirepath SP-142-500-BLK 14AWG 2C Speaker Wire 500ft

Product Description

The WIREPATH SP-142-500-BLK is a 14 AWG, 2-conductor speaker wire supplied on a 500-foot spool in black jacket. Designed for non-plenum audio installations, this cable carries low-level audio signals from amplifiers or receivers to passive speaker loads in residential and light commercial environments. The 14 AWG conductor gauge supports longer runs with reduced resistance, making it a practical choice for whole-home audio systems, home theater setups, and distributed audio zones. Installation is handled by low-voltage technicians and A/V integrators who require a reliable, code-appropriate cable for concealed in-wall or surface routing in non-plenum spaces.

This wire is suited for non-plenum rated spaces such as standard stud-bay walls, conduit runs, and surface-mounted raceways where air handling is not a concern. A 500-foot spool provides sufficient quantity for multi-room audio projects or larger single-zone runs. The black jacket blends discreetly in utility areas and behind finished surfaces. It is appropriate for residential new construction, retrofit installations, and light commercial audio distribution projects.

Key Features

• 14 AWG conductors for lower resistance on extended cable runs
• 2-conductor configuration for standard stereo or mono speaker connections
• 500-foot spool reduces the need for mid-run splices on longer installations
• Non-plenum rated jacket suitable for standard wall and conduit installations
• Black jacket finish for discreet routing in utility and finished spaces

Compatibility

Designed as a non-plenum speaker cable for use with passive speakers, amplifiers, and receivers in residential and light commercial distributed audio systems.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage technicians and A/V integrators should verify that non-plenum cable is code-permissible for the specific routing path before installation, as plenum-rated cable is required in air-handling spaces per NEC Article 800. De-energize all amplifiers and receivers before terminating connections. Strip only as much insulation as needed at each termination point to avoid shorts at binding posts or spring clips.
