Good cable but not AWG

Advertised as AWG. American sweat class. This is not an AVG. Audio cable with a good price-performance ratio. But it's not AVG

Pros
  • Cable and Connections
Cons
  • Protection

High quality, tough, durable protective case

Monoprice's 12-gauge Nimbus two-wire speaker cable is plenum-grade (for use in walls and ceilings). I bought a 250ft roll. The cable is very rigid and intended for permanent installation in walls and/or attics. I installed mine with a low voltage pass-through wall plate and hit a very stiff wire with the screw-in banana plugs. Great price, reliable connection. Works perfectly!

High-quality, robust and durable protective jacket

2 core cable for 12 gauge Nimbus Series 12 loudspeakers are designed for plenum use (for use in walls and ceilings). I bought a 250ft roll. The cable is very rigid and intended for permanent installation in walls and/or attics. I installed mine with a low voltage pass-through wall plate and hit a very stiff wire with the screw-in banana plugs. Great price, reliable connection. Works perfectly!

Pros
  • Monoprice Plenum speaker cable | uses high quality material that is softer and more flexible than traditional plenum jackets.
Cons
  • High Price

Good but too stiff for easy installation

The most conductive part of the cable. It's a few (100+?) stranded copper wires and looks like real 12AWG to me. Some others appear to be "12AWG" but actually have a smaller bunch of strands when you use stripping tools on them. I took off two stars for the material of the jacket. It is a hard plastic that is very difficult to bend smoothly. Ironically, this makes stripping easier when making terminal connections. Just cut the jacket where you want to take a break and then click like a stick…

Pros
  • Plenum Rating (CMP) indicates the cable meets fire and insurance requirements, making it safe for use within the walls of residential and commercial buildings.
Cons
  • Definitely bad product
