Each core measures 0.33mm² cross-sectional area and handles up to 2.5A continuous current, making the cable suitable for lower-power distributed audio systems, background music installations, and entry-level home speaker wiring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe figure-8 profile keeps both cores joined in a single flat sheath that terminates cleanly into binding posts and spring terminals without needing to separate the cores along their length. A white polarity line runs along one edge of the black sheath, allowing installers to maintain consistent positive\/negative orientation across multiple speaker runs. The 100m reel length suits commercial audio jobs requiring cable runs across multiple rooms or zones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe copper\/CCA conductor mix balances cost against performance for installations where the cable runs are relatively short and the speaker load is modest. The 2.0 x 4.0mm overall dimensions fit through standard cable trunking and can be surface-run along skirting or coving without excessive visual bulk. The black sheath keeps the cable unobtrusive against dark walls and floors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConductor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCopper\/Copper Clad Aluminium\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\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\u003eCSA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.33mm²\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStrands\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 x (7 x 0.18mmØCu + 6 x 0.18mmØCCA)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.0 x 4.0mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSheath\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolarity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhite\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePacked quantity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12 reels\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCurrent\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.5A max.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat speaker power can this cable handle?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 0.33mm² CSA and 2.5A maximum current rating make this cable suitable for speakers with nominal power handling up to around 20W RMS at 8 ohms.
