The combined cross-sectional area per conductor is 1.5mm², giving the cable an 8A maximum current rating and an 8mm overall diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for fixed audio installations in commercial, residential and hospitality environments, the cable pairs high flexibility with fire-safety compliance. The LSZH sheath material meets RoHS standards and produces minimal smoke and no halogenated fumes in the event of fire, making it suitable for enclosed spaces, escape routes and public buildings where toxic fume emission must be minimised. The purple outer sheath aids identification in multi-cable runs and pairs with violet or purple-themed AV installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dual-material conductor design balances cost and performance: oxygen-free copper strands handle high-frequency audio transmission with low resistance, while CCA strands reduce overall cable weight and material cost without significantly compromising signal quality over typical domestic and light commercial installation distances (up to 30m). The 48-strand construction per conductor gives the cable enough flexibility to route around corners, through trunking and behind walls without requiring excessive force or risking conductor breakage. The 100m reel is supplied as two 50m reels for easier handling and storage.\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\u003ePurple LSZH\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\u003eCurrent\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8A max\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\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does LSZH mean and why does it matter?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLSZH stands for Low Smoke Zero Halogen. In a fire, this sheath material produces minimal smoke and no halogenated gases (such as hydrogen chloride), reducing the risk of smoke inhalation injuries and toxic fume exposure. It is required or strongly recommended in public buildings, escape routes and enclosed spaces under UK building regulations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between oxygen-free copper and CCA conductors?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOxygen-free copper offers lower resistance and better high-frequency transmission. Copper-clad aluminium (CCA) has an aluminium core with a thin copper coating, which reduces weight and cost but increases resistance slightly. This cable uses both materials in each conductor to balance performance and cost over typical installation distances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow far can this cable run before signal loss becomes noticeable?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a 1.5mm² CSA per conductor, the cable handles typical domestic and light commercial speaker runs of up to 30m without significant signal degradation.
