The cable is rated to carry up to 10A and is designed for low-to-medium power speaker runs in background music installations, small PA systems, and residential hi-fi setups where budget and flexibility matter more than maximum power handling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe transparent PVC sheath allows the copper-coloured conductors to be visible through the insulation, with one core carrying a red polarity stripe for easy identification during termination. The figure-8 profile keeps both cores joined but allows them to be easily separated at the ends for connection to binding posts or terminal blocks. At 3.5 x 7.0mm overall, the cable is slim enough to route along skirting, behind furniture, or through cable trays without occupying significant space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCCA conductors offer a lower-cost alternative to pure copper, trading some conductivity for lighter weight and easier handling on long runs. For applications where the speaker run is under 15-20m and power requirements stay below 100W per channel, the difference in performance versus pure copper is negligible. The 100m reel length suits installers working on multi-room audio, restaurant\/bar zoning, or warehouse paging systems where multiple shorter runs are needed from a single spool.\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 Clad Aluminium\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSheath\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClear\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolarity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRed\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\u003e1.0mm²\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStrands\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 x (32 x 0.2mmØ)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.5 x 7.0mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePacked quantity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 reels\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCurrent\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10A 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's the difference between CCA and pure copper speaker cable?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCopper clad aluminium has an aluminium core with a thin copper coating, making it lighter and cheaper than pure copper. CCA has slightly higher resistance, so it's best used on shorter runs (under 15-20m) and lower-power applications. For long runs or high-power systems, pure copper (OFC) cable offers better conductivity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat power rating does this cable support?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 10A current rating and 1.0mm² CSA support speaker systems up to approximately 100W per channel on runs under 15m. For higher power or longer distances, step up to a larger CSA cable to reduce resistance losses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the two cores be separated?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The figure-8 profile joins the two cores but they can be easily split apart at the ends for connection to separate positive and negative terminals on amplifiers and speakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this cable suitable for outdoor use?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The PVC sheath is not UV-stabilised or weatherproof.
