Wirepath SP-162-500-BLK CL2 Speaker Wire 500 Ft

Product Description

The WIREPATH SP-162-500-BLK is a CL2-rated in-wall speaker wire supplied on a 500-foot spool box in black. CL2 rating designates this cable as suitable for in-wall residential wiring runs where a National Electrical Code-compliant, non-plenum installation is required. The wire ships on a spool box for clean, tangle-free pulling during rough-in or finish work. Low-voltage audio installers and A/V integrators use this cable when running speaker circuits from amplifiers or A/V receivers to in-wall or in-ceiling speaker locations.

This cable is intended for non-plenum, dry-wall interior environments in residential and light commercial audio distribution systems. Typical applications include whole-home audio, dedicated home theater speaker runs, and structured wiring installations where CL2-rated cable meets local code requirements. The 500-foot length suits multi-room or multi-zone projects where a single spool can serve several speaker drops without mid-run splices.

Key Features

• CL2-rated jacket meets NEC requirements for in-wall, non-plenum residential installations
• 500-foot spool box format supports clean cable management and efficient pulling
• Black jacket finish suits concealed in-wall routing where jacket color is not visible at termination
• Non-plenum (non-CL3P/CMP) rating — install only in standard stud-bay or conduit pathways, not air-handling spaces

Compatibility

Designed as a standard CL2 in-wall speaker cable suitable for use with residential and light commercial low-voltage audio distribution systems requiring non-plenum-rated two-conductor speaker wire.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or qualified A/V integrator in accordance with NEC Article 725 governing Class 2 wiring. De-energize any connected amplifiers or receivers before making terminations. Do not route this non-plenum cable through air-handling plenums or HVAC return spaces — a CMP-rated cable is required for those environments. Follow local AHJ requirements for in-wall cable runs, including proper support and protection at penetrations.
