- Product Details
12 gauge speaker wire, also known as audio cable or speaker cable, is a type of electrical wire consisting of two conductors(usually made of copper, tinned copper, or copper-clad aluminum) insulated with PVC and is used to transmit audio signals from amplifiers or receivers to speakers. 12 gauge speaker wire in mm is 3.33mm². Speaker wire 12 gauge offers lower resistance, better sound quality, and higher power efficiency than the 14 gauge speaker wire, making it suitable for larger speakers, such as home theater speakers and automotive speaker systems.

FAQ
What is the current carrying capacity (Ampacity) of 12 Gauge speaker wire?
While NEC rates 12 AWG building wire at 20 Amps for mains power, speaker wire is typically rated for 9A to 12A of continuous audio current to ensure minimal voltage drop and heat generation.
What is the overall outer diameter (O.D.) of 12 Gauge speaker wire?
The O.D. varies by insulation thickness but typically ranges from 4.0mm x 8.0mm to 5.5mm x 11.0mm for flat parallel (zip-cord) profiles.
What is the difference between CL2 and CL3 rated 12 AWG wire?
CL2: Safe for general residential in-wall installation (up to 150V). CL3: Safe for commercial and residential in-wall use with a higher voltage rating (300V). Both ratings indicate the jacket is flame-retardant and suitable for running inside walls and ceilings.
