Each core comprises 48 strands (24 copper + 24 copper-clad aluminium) giving the cable flexibility for routing through joists, walls and conduit in fixed audio installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for connecting passive speakers to amplifiers in home cinema, multi-room audio, commercial PA systems and installed sound setups, the Mercury handles up to 8A continuous current. The 8mm overall diameter allows the cable to be run through standard back boxes and wall cavities without excessive bulk. The double insulation removes the need for separate earthing, simplifying installations where CPC runs are not available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe black PVC sheath provides basic mechanical protection and UV resistance for indoor routing behind walls, under floors and through ceiling voids. The hybrid copper and copper-clad aluminium construction balances conductivity with cost and weight, making the Mercury suited to medium-run installations (under 30m per run) where pure copper cable would add significant cost without audible benefit at domestic listening levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSheath\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack PVC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCSA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 x 1.5mm²\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStrands\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 x (24 x 0.2mmØ Cu + 24 x 0.2mmØ CCA)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8mmØ\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePacked\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 Reels\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCurrent\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8A max\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's the difference between copper and copper-clad aluminium conductors?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach core contains 24 solid copper strands and 24 copper-clad aluminium (CCA) strands.
