Wirepath SP-184-DB-1000-BLK Speaker Wire 1000 Ft Black

Product Description

The WIREPATH SP-184-DB-1000-BLK is an 18-gauge, 4-conductor non-plenum speaker wire designed for in-wall and in-ceiling audio distribution in residential and light commercial installations. Supplied in a 1000-foot spool in black, it is sized for runs requiring multiple conductor pairs to a single speaker location or zone. The 18 AWG gauge provides adequate current-carrying capacity for standard passive speaker loads across typical room-length cable runs. Low-voltage audio installers and A/V integrators are the primary tradespeople who work with this product.

This wire is suited for non-plenum environments such as standard stud-wall cavities, conduit runs in finished living spaces, and suspended ceiling applications where the return air plenum rating is not required by code. The black jacket aids in identification and blends into dark installation environments. It is sold as a single 1000-foot spool, making it appropriate for larger residential projects, multi-room audio systems, or service van stock for low-voltage contractors.

Key Features

• 18 AWG gauge supports standard passive speaker loads over typical in-wall run lengths
• 4-conductor configuration allows a single cable run to carry two independent speaker channels or a stereo pair with a spare pair
• Non-plenum jacket rated for standard wall and ceiling cavities where plenum-rated cable is not required by local code
• Black jacket finish for discreet routing in finished spaces and dark conduit environments
• 1000-foot spool quantity reduces mid-project restocking for larger installs

Compatibility

Designed for use in non-plenum residential and light commercial low-voltage audio wiring applications where 18 AWG 4-conductor speaker cable is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or A/V systems contractor in accordance with applicable local codes and NEC Article 725 or 800 as adopted by the authority having jurisdiction. Confirm with the local inspector whether non-plenum jacket is acceptable for the specific cavity or plenum space being served before pulling cable. De-energize any connected audio equipment before terminating conductors. Do not run low-voltage speaker wire in the same conduit or bundle as line-voltage wiring without appropriate separation per NEC requirements.
