The cable carries a 15A maximum current rating, making it suitable for mid to high-power distributed PA systems, commercial background music installations, and larger loudspeaker runs where cost-effective cabling is required without compromising signal integrity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for commercial installers working across retail spaces, schools, conference halls and hospitality venues, the figure 8 profile keeps the two cores bonded in a single flat sheath for faster routing and neater cable management. The black outer sheath carries a white polarity marking on one core, allowing installers to maintain consistent phase alignment across multiple speaker runs without having to mark or tag the cable. The 3.8 x 7.6mm cross-section is slim enough to run under carpet edging or through conduit while remaining thick enough to resist crushing during installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 100m reel length suits professional installers who need to complete multiple speaker positions from a single cable supply without joins. The CCA conductor material balances cost against performance — it provides reliable signal transfer for most PA and background music applications at a lower price point than pure copper equivalents, though pure copper cable is recommended where the highest conductivity is required over very long runs or where high-end audio fidelity is the priority.\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\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\u003e1.32mm²\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStrands\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 x (42 x 0.2mmØ)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.8 x 7.6mm\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\u003e4 reels\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCurrent\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15.0A 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 (CCA) consists of an aluminium core with a copper coating. It provides reliable signal transfer for most PA and background music applications at a lower cost than pure copper. Pure copper cable offers higher conductivity and is preferred for long runs over 50m or where audiophile-grade fidelity is required, but for typical commercial PA installations the CCA construction performs well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat speaker impedance and power does this cable support?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 15A rating and 1.32mm² CSA make this cable suitable for 100V line PA systems and passive speakers up to around 200W per run at typical 8-ohm impedance. For very high-power systems or runs exceeding 30-40m, consult the amplifier manufacturer's cable gauge recommendations to confirm the 1.32mm² CSA is adequate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is the polarity marking applied?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the two cores has a white stripe printed on the black sheath.
