Description

The Mercury Heavy Duty is a 100m reel of figure 8 speaker cable built around two parallel conductors, each containing 42 strands (22 x 0.18mm copper, 20 x 0.18mm copper-clad aluminium). The combined 1.32mm² cross-sectional area and hybrid copper/CCA construction balance cost against conductivity for mid-to-long speaker cable runs in commercial audio, installed sound and residential multi-room systems.

Designed for permanent audio installations where cable runs exceed 10-15 metres, the Mercury Heavy Duty suits distributed ceiling speaker systems in bars, restaurants, retail environments and domestic multi-room setups where multiple speakers are wired back to a central amplifier. The 13A maximum current rating allows for safe use on higher-power amplifier zones, while the 4.5 x 9mm figure 8 profile can be surface-mounted, clipped into cable trunking or run behind plasterboard without requiring conduit.

The white sheath carries a black polarity line running the full length of one conductor, making it simple to maintain consistent phase across multiple speakers during installation. The figure 8 (twin flat) profile means the two conductors can be separated by hand without stripping tools when terminating into speaker binding posts or screw terminals. The 100m reel length suits larger installations without mid-run joins, reducing potential fault points compared to shorter pre-cut cable.

Frequently Asked

What's the difference between copper and copper-clad aluminium (CCA)?

Copper offers better conductivity than CCA, while CCA reduces weight and cost. This cable uses a hybrid construction with 22 copper strands and 20 CCA strands per conductor, balancing performance and value for typical installed audio applications. Pure copper cable is preferable for audiophile hi-fi systems or very long runs exceeding 30m.

What speaker impedance and amplifier power does this suit?

The 1.32mm² CSA handles most 8-ohm and 4-ohm distributed speaker systems on runs up to 25-30m without significant voltage drop. For 100V line systems, consult the amplifier and speaker manufacturer's cable gauge recommendations based on total speaker load.

Can the two conductors be separated?

Yes. The figure 8 profile allows the two conductors to be pulled apart by hand along the join line, making it easy to terminate into separate binding posts or screw terminals without cutting through the insulation.

Is this suitable for outdoor use?

The white PVC sheath is designed for indoor installation. For outdoor or exterior wall runs, use cable rated for outdoor/UV exposure or install this cable inside UV-rated conduit to protect it from direct sunlight and moisture ingress.
