OSD 14/414/4 Speaker Wire Outdoor Rated CL2/CL3 In Wall Direct Burial Oxygen Free,White (50ft-500ft)
*When purchasing 50Ft Length; the length will be cut from the 500Ft box, wrapped, and repackaged in a brown box without the REELEX easy pull system.*
Features:
- Heavy-duty four-conductor 14-gauge speaker cable
- Rated for both direct burial outside and in-wall installations
- Highly conductive, oxygen-free copper strands
- Ideal for bi-amping for volume controls
- Provides reliable signal transfer over long distances
- UV-resistant polypropylene sheath seals out moisture
- Includes tissue-wrapped conductors for quick stripping
- Reinforced box with large payout hole for fast and smooth cable runs - Available for 500FT only
- Extra-sturdy box includes patented REELEX design that prevents twists, knots, and tangles - Available for 500FT only
Built for large commercial and residential installations, the Professional Grade speaker cable is designed for pros who want to provide customers with the best quality audio and get the job done quickly and efficiently. Rated for both in-wall and direct burial use, this four-conductor high strand count copper cable provides excellent signal transfer over long cable runs (over 50 ft), and the 4-conductor wire has a higher threshold for power and can be bi-amped (two amps to a single speaker) for volume control installations. The reinforced but flexible polypropylene jacket is UV resistant and protects the copper conductors from high heat and cold conditions as well as dirt, dust and other elements that can degrade cable integrity. Features that cater to demanding integrators include a reinforced box with an easy pull, snag-free design, and tissue-wrapped conductors for quick stripping. The extra sturdy box has a large payout hole, so cable runs are fast and smooth while the patented REELEX technology pulls coils from the inside out to prevent twists, knots, and tangles that can slow job progress. This sturdy audio speaker cable also includes two-foot increment printed markers so you can determine how much cable has been used and how much is left in the box, making long cable runs easier than ever.

The features and specs states "improved skin effect". This seems like an artificial specification as the skin effect is a bad thing and only needs to be taken into account at hundreds of thousands of volts. Therefore since you may be inflating this cables performance with audiophool terminology how can I expect that your other specs that I care about (materials of construction, UV protection, etc) are genuine. Can you please provide some certifications or assurances that this cable is indeed somewhat UV stabilized

HI Terry:
The "Improved Skin Effect" has been removed. It has nothing to do with the particular cable. I am checking with the factory for certification on UV protectant that has been added. The jacket is already CL3/FT4 rated. If you listen to some of the Higher end cable companies they address "skin effect" on the outside of the bundle to help the high frequencies. Most talk about adding a layer of silver to the outside of the bundled conductors for smoother transmission.

Is this cable white? do you have it available in black?
Customer Service • 12/17/2019, 2:17:43 PM
Hi AS:
This cable is available in white only. I believe some companies stock black but we do not get enough demand merit us stocking it ourselves.

Who is the manufacurernof this wire? I normally use honeywell direct burial speaker cable and want to ensure that I would be getting similar quality wire.
Customer Service • 12/17/2019, 2:17:43 PM
HI Bob:
There are a couple of different levels of Honeywell Direct Burial Speaker Wire branded under the Genesis wire brand which was their house brand created bu ADI a Honeywell company that is a major distributor of security products. The standard line is basic strand count and CL2 rated. Our supplier is one of the biggest OEM suppliers in China (and very well be making cables for Genesis as well). Our basic cable now available in a black or white jacket is CL3 rated which is more expensive than CL2. CL2 is residential only, CL3 is residential and most commercial applications. It can not be run in heating or cooling ducts. That would need to be Plenum rated for all commercial applications. This is also more expensive than the CL3 jacket. Honeywell also offers a step up cable that has a higher strand count and is CL3 rated. Higher strand count offers more flexibility and a little better conductivity. We both have our cables made to spec...

What color are the wires?
Customer Service • 12/17/2019, 2:17:43 PM
Hi Anthony:
The four internal conductors; red, black, white, and green. Typically we recommend red; right positive, black; right negative, white; left positive, and green; left negative. But it doesn't matter how you connect each conductor as long as both ends match. Note, both of our 16/4 and 14/4 have the same colored jackets

Regarding the 41 strand designation, is that 41 strands per conductor or 41 strands for all 4 conductors?
Customer Service • 12/17/2019, 2:17:43 PM
Hi Tony:
The strand count is 41 per conductor x 4 for 14/4 and 41 per for 14/2.
That is 41 strands of 30 AWG pure copper per each conductor. The next highest strand count would be 105 strands AT 34 AWG.
