Review on Mediabridge 14AWG 2-Conductor Speaker Wire (100 ft, White) - 99.9% Oxygen-Free Copper – ETL Listed & CL2 Rated for In-Wall Installation (Part# SW-14X2-100-WH) by Mark Sharma

After reading some negative reviews I decided it was best to test this cable before starting the complicated installation process. Any item made in China today has a 1 in 1,000 chance that you will receive a counterfeit. Length: There were complaints that the length wasn't as advertised (e.g. 80ft instead of 100ft) so I unwound the spool and measured my "100ft" spool and it was 98ft 9in , so not that bad. The jacket is marked with CLS. rating etc. but I found it also says 99 feet of wire. So Mediabridge is misrepresenting and they know it, but not as bad as the one star reviewers claimed. does not catch the eye. Flexibility: At least for 16 gauge wire, I found this flexibility to be good. I didn't expect the performance here to be as good as 100% silicone insulation, so I'm very pleased. Continuity: There has been some comment on the intermittent sound attributed to the cable. I did a wobble test by spiraling the wire every foot or so to find a continuous connection. Copper Quality: Some complaints were related to tarnished copper. I cut or stripped the wire and the solderability was unchanged. t with oxygen-free copper wire. I measured the resistance using the 4 point Kelvin method and found that with a 2 amp source the resistance was 3.83 mΩ/ft, exceeding the 16 AWG solid wire specification of 4.016 mΩ/ft. I am very happy with my purchase.
