Frequently Asked Questions
What is the total length and gauge of this speaker wire?
It is 50 feet of 18-gauge speaker wire, suitable for connecting speakers to a receiver or amplifier in most standard home audio setups.
Is this wire suitable for outdoor speaker installations?
RCA lists this wire for both indoor and outdoor use, though it is not rated for direct burial. For outdoor runs, it should be routed through conduit or protected from prolonged weather exposure.
Does this wire come with connectors attached?
No, the wire has bare ends. You will need to strip the ends and can optionally add banana plugs, spade connectors, or pin connectors depending on your equipment's terminals.
Can I use this to wire a subwoofer?
While it will physically work, 18-gauge wire may be limiting for subwoofers that draw more power. A 14- or 16-gauge wire is generally recommended for subwoofer connections.
