ICE Cable Primal IC-PR16-2B: 16 AWG Two-Conductor Speaker Cable - 100m

ICE Cable Primal IC-PR16-2B: 16 AWG Two-Conductor Speaker Cable 100m The ICE Cable Primal IC-PR16-2B is a high-performance, installation-grade 16 AWG two-conductor speaker cable engineered for residential and commercial multi-room audio, distributed sound systems, and home theatre surround runs. Constructed with high-purity Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) conductors inside a rugged yet flexible black PVC jacket, it delivers clean signal transfer, low line loss, and high pulling efficiency through tight wall cavities and electrical conduits. Oxygen-Free Copper Conductors and Signal Performance At the core of the IC-PR16-2B are two 16 AWG conductors manufactured from 99.99 percent pure Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC). The high-purity copper core ensures optimal conductivity, minimal signal attenuation, and low DC resistance over standard installation runs. The cable is engineered with a tight conductor twist to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and cross-talk from adjacent cabling. Color-coded internal conductor insulation (black and red) provides immediate polarity identification at termination points, speeding up wall plate, amplifier, and architectural speaker connections. In-Wall Safety Ratings and Installer-Focused Design The outer jacket is constructed from a specialized flame-retardant PVC compound that provides smooth glide during rough-in conduit pulls while resisting abrasion and tearing. An integrated internal nylon ripcord enables fast, clean jacket stripping without risking nicking or cutting into the primary conductor insulation. The cable holds multiple international fire and safety ratings—including UL CL3, c(UL) CM, and FT4 flame resistance—making it fully certified for in-wall and in-ceiling installation across both residential and commercial structures. The black outer jacket (designated by the "B" suffix in the part number) provides a discrete profile when routed through exposed ceilings, stage racks, or open commercial spaces.
