Wirepath SP-VLG-166-1000 16 Awg 6-conductor Wire 1000ft

Product Description

The WIREPATH SP-VLG-166-1000 is a 16 AWG, 6-conductor non-plenum audio wire supplied on a 1000-foot spool. Designed for in-wall and in-ceiling audio distribution runs, this wire delivers reliable signal transmission for multi-zone speaker systems in residential and light commercial installations. The 16-gauge conductor size handles typical speaker loads with low resistance over long runs, making it a practical choice for distributed audio setups where multiple speaker pairs are wired from a central amplifier or matrix switch. Installation professionals use this wire for structured wiring projects, home theater rough-ins, and whole-home audio systems.

This cable is rated for non-plenum environments, meaning it is suited for standard wall cavities, conduit, and drop ceilings that do not serve as air-handling return pathways. It is commonly pulled in residential new construction and retrofit projects where a single 6-conductor cable replaces multiple individual runs, simplifying termination at both the amplifier and the speaker location. The 1000-foot spool length supports large-scale installations or multi-room wiring from a single reel.

Key Features

• 16 AWG conductor gauge provides low resistance for extended speaker runs
• 6-conductor configuration supports up to three speaker pairs in a single cable pull
• 1000-foot spool minimizes splicing on large residential or light commercial jobs
• Non-plenum jacket rating suits standard wall cavities and non-air-handling spaces
• Designed for structured audio distribution in multi-zone and whole-home systems

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose non-plenum 16 AWG 6-conductor audio wire for use with residential and light commercial distributed speaker systems and multi-zone amplifier installations.

Installation Notes

This cable should be installed by a qualified low-voltage technician or licensed electrician in accordance with applicable local codes and NEC Article 725 requirements for Class 2 or Class 3 wiring where applicable. Verify that the installation environment does not require plenum-rated cable before pulling wire through any space used for HVAC air return. Do not exceed the bend radius of the cable during pulls, and avoid running low-voltage audio wire in the same conduit as line-voltage conductors without appropriate separation.
