Engineered for low resistance and high current capacity, this cable guarantees your sound system performs at its absolute best. ## Description From the manufacturer Monoprice Access Series 12 Gauge AWG CL2 Rated 2 Conductor Speaker Wire/Cable Product Description Get the most out of your home audio system with high quality, oxygen-free, pure bare copper speaker wire from Monoprice! This speaker wire features two conductors made of high purity (greater than 99.95% pure), oxygen-free bare copper. Pure Bare Copper is a superior conductor to the copper clad aluminum (CCA) conductors used in most other inexpensive speaker wire. CCA is only about 68% as conductive as pure bare copper. This additional resistance is added to the impedance of your speakers and can negatively effect the sound. For the wire to have no audible effect, the total wire resistance should be no more than 5% of the lowest impedance of your speakers. Even speakers rated for a nominal 8-ohms, may dip to as low as 4-ohms at some frequencies, which further reduces the total cable resistance allowed in the wire. Using Pure Bare Copper speaker wire ensures that the total load put on the amplifier remains as close as possible to the impedance curve of your speakers. For example, a 16AWG 2-conductor Pure Bare Copper speaker wire has a total resistance of 0.803 ohms per 100 feet (both directions must be considered). By comparison, a 16AWG 2-conductor CCA speaker wire has a total resistance of 1.181 ohms per 100 feet. Assuming 4 ohms is the lowest impedance of your speakers, a speaker wire run can be no more 0.2-ohms total. 20 feet of 16AWG Pure Bare Copper would be 0.1606 ohms, well under the 0.2-ohm limit. On the other hand, 20 feet of 16AWG CCA would be 0.2362 ohms, well OVER the 0.2-ohm limit. Review: Thicker the Gage... - I have these as my Side Surrounds, I ONLY(mostly) play Sports and Racing Games. MLB 16(PS4) - I am hearing subtle noises like nothing I knew was even possible in a videogame, NHL 17 has crowd sounds that are "right-in-that-arena" hyper realistic sounding. Fifa 17 same as above. Remember? THEY HAVE TO PROGRAM THOSE SOUNDS IN! As for Blu-ray movies you name the movie and the sound you should be hearing during that moment and these speakers can handle it. I originally had a 'Sony 5.1 System' about 10 years ago - you do not buy Sony for Sound because they have inferior sounding equiptment, so I upgraded to a Onkyo 7.1 HT5600(HTIB - "Home Theatre In A Box") was very happy. BUUUUT, I kept on hearing about the legendary BOSE Sound(I would see a commercial on TV and be critical of the price being so expensive because, "It is JUST a clock that HAS BOSE speakers inside", why does it cost $$$? It's a FRIGGIN Clock?!!?). Then a FutureShop Flyer came in the mail listing a 7.1 BOSE Surround Sound System for $850, regularly $1200. Why not? I am hearing(still, even 3 years later) that I did not think were possible to be heard. ALL BOSE Speakers have Brilliant sound, these particular speakers in general may not deliver the "big oomph" sounds but they still are damn great speakers to fill out higher-end Entertainment Rooms. A few examples, EVERY(I mean EVERY) time anything happens in MLB 16(PS4) I turn my head to see what is over there, DriveClub with its amazing sound effects especially during Thunder Storms it literally sounds like the Storm is in my room(even my 5 year old niece turned her head - even though we knew what our eyes were seeing - to see what was happening!). A movie example would have to be 'Braveheart' when William Wallace comes back for revenge on his horse and draws his sword(nails on a chalk board doesn't annoy me), that slidding-ching still gives me chills just think about it, or, in 'Troy' at the beginning when Achilles is summoned and that boy runs past the dog to get him - there is bug flying around. The last one will be, when 'Homer Simpson Gains Weight', the first "official" day of work where Santa's Little Helper goes to lie down but walks in a circle first(Dogs were bred to protect their master - or, HUMANS! - so they circle to smell what way the wind is blowing) and Homer pushes him to the ground, there is a bird outside people. Everything has to be programmed in for Video Games AND for Movies, but this is a 21-year-old episode this past November 5! My Music example: 'Money' by Pink Floyd, EVERY speaker is used at the start of the song when the Cash Registers are getting used. Bottom Line, these Speakers are soooooooo good at Subtle sounds. *This is the same review that I posted for the BOSE Speakers*. I was using a thin RCA Gage Wire then I HEARD THESE(I got them on sale from the legendary Wire Outlet on the 'Net). I right away heard the difference as described above! I DID NOT hear any of the DiveClub Thunder Storm Sounds with the RCA Gage. Review: Barato y de calidad - Cable de calidad a muy buen precio. La cubierta blanca es flexible y blanda, los cables se mueven libremente dentro de la cubierta, esto facilita la instalación. Muy recomendable para la instalación de tu sistema de sonido. ## Features - Oxygen-free 99.95% pure bare copper conductors - 100 continuous feet of 12Awg 2-conductor speaker wire | on a spool - The white Outer jacket is CL2 rated, making it safe for use within the walls of residential class buildings - Each conductor has an individual, color-coded jacket enclosed within the outer white CL2 jacket ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B003L1AFL4 | | Best Sellers Rank | #78,967 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #136 in Speaker Cables | | Brand | Monoprice | | Brand Name | Monoprice | | Cable Type | Speaker | | Cable type | Speaker | | Color | White | | Compatible Devices | Speaker | | Compatible Phone Models | No Compatible Phone Models | | Compatible devices | Speaker | | Compatible phone models | No Compatible Phone Models | | Connectivity Technology | Speaker Wire | | Connector Gender | Male-to-Female | | Connector Type | Bare Wire | | Connector type | Bare Wire | | Customer Package Type | Standard Packaging | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 439 Reviews | | Gauge | 12.0 | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00844660028178 | | Included Components | CL2 Rated 2-Conductor Speaker Wire | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Indoor | | Item Length | 100 Feet | | Item Shape | Round | | Item Weight | 1 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Monoprice Inc. | | Maximum Current | 20 Amps | | Maximum Voltage | 150 Volts (DC) | | Model | 102817 | | Model Name | Access Series | | Number of Items | 1 | | Other Special Features of the Product | In-Wall Fire Safety Rated | | Outer Material | Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) | | Part Number | 102817 | | Recommended Uses For Product | Home Audio System, Speaker Connection | | Special features | In-Wall Fire Safety Rated | | Specification Met | CL2 | | UPC | 013257023838 844660028178 711938962413 710348838806 | | Unit Count | 100 Meters | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Monoprice - **Cable type:** Speaker - **Compatible devices:** Speaker - **Connector type:** Bare Wire - **Special features:** In-Wall Fire Safety Rated ## Images ![Access Series 12 Gauge AWG CL2 Rated 2 Conductor Speaker Wire/Cable - 3048 cm Fire Safety In Wall Rated, Jacketed In White PVC material 99.9% Oxygen-Free Pure Bare Copper - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51+HNdPeHQL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is this wire shielded for use next to electrical wire and if not how far away should it be placed to stop interference?** A: The wires in this cable are not shielded. Sorry I can't answer part two of your question. **Q: Will the copper strands of each black and red wire fit in to the connections of old and new audio receivers / speakers or too thick for some?** A: It should fit in most connections, 12 AWG is thick but if you are worried I would recommend going to a 14 AWG cable. **Q: Anyone tested this wire for being cca?** A: The wire that I recieved was not CCA. **Q: How many strands (ie...259) of copper does each coated wire contain?** A: Each coated wire has 65 strands. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thicker the Gage... *by T***R on 28 November 2016* I have these as my Side Surrounds, I ONLY(mostly) play Sports and Racing Games.

I'm not an audiophile but PLEASE don't get taken in by the "High end" cable and wire marketing demons... unless you are Superman or a dog and have Uber hearing, save the $$$ for your electronic where it matters. Used this wire to create my own beefy coax speaker cables to replace the "too short" cables that came with my Vizio 5.1 soundbar /sattelite speaker system (the 54 inch system here on Amazon... great system by the way) I used the monoprice premium RCA plugs also here on Amazon. People say those plugs are too hard to soldier the wires too. Yes, if you don't know how to solder properly this you'll make a mess and blame it on the product. I'm not an expert solderer but I watched a lot of youtube videos and looked at pics. And then I practiced a bit with a decent soldering iron. I made no mistakes and the cables worked perfectly the first time. 12 gauge copper speaker wire is perfect for making your own speaker cables. It was slightly too large for what I did with the RCA plugs... but I made it work. 14 or 16 gauge wire woild have fit nicer and probaly sufficuent for this purpose but i wanted 12. Teach yourself how to solder, use a good soldering iron atbthe right temp for your solder wire, tin the tips of the copper speaker wires first (not an optional step) and have at it. Proper solder temp is important for solid strong solder points. And... don't hold the iron too long to the copper wire as you might melt the cabling sheathing . I actually probably held it too long but the sheathing on this monoprice wire held up jist fine. I now have 5.1 surround sound :-) running cables in the attic space? Solder your wires first :-) ## Frequently Bought Together - Monoprice Access Series 12 Gauge AWG CL2 Rated 2 Conductor Speaker Wire/ Cable - 100ft Fire Safety In Wall Rated, Jacketed In White PVC material 99.9% Oxygen-Free Pure Bare Copper - FosPower Banana Plugs 12 Pairs / 24 pcs, Closed Screw 24K Gold Plated Speaker Plug Connectors for Speaker Wire, Wall Plate, Home Theater, Audio/Video Receiver, Amplifiers and Sound Systems - RUIPRO 8K HDMI Ultra High Speed Latest 2.1b Certified Fiber Optic Cable CL2 Rated 50 Feet 8K60Hz 4K120Hz 48Gbps eARC HDR HDCP2.3 for RTX4080/4090/3080/3090 Xbox PS5 AVR Projector LG/Samsung/Sony --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/254013770-access-series-12-gauge-awg-cl2-rated-2-conductor-speaker](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/254013770-access-series-12-gauge-awg-cl2-rated-2-conductor-speaker) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-14*
