Speaker cable ShiverPeaks 06-215011 2.5 mm² 50 m CCA

ShiverPeaks 06-215011 speaker cable is a 50 m roll of 2.5 mm² cross-section cable with copper-clad aluminum (CCA) conductors. Designed for connecting loudspeakers and audio components, this cable balances conductor size and flexibility for short-to-medium length runs in home or light commercial audio installations. The transparent insulation allows visual inspection of the conductors and polarity markings, and the cable is suitable for routed in-wall runs where CCA conductors are specified as acceptable.

Advantages

This speaker cable offers an economical alternative to solid copper conductors while maintaining reduced weight and improved flexibility. The 2.5 mm² cross-section provides lower resistance than thinner speaker wires, supporting clearer signal transmission over moderate distances. Transparent insulation and clear polarity identification simplify installation and reduce the chance of wiring errors. The spool format facilitates transport, measurement and installation in both residential and small commercial setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting bookshelf, floorstanding or ceiling speakers to amplifiers or receivers
• Short-to-medium speaker runs in home audio systems
• Audio distribution in small commercial spaces where CCA is permitted
• In-wall routing when building codes and system requirements allow copper-clad aluminum conductors

Key specifications

• Conductor type: copper-clad aluminum (CCA)
• Cross-sectional area: 2.5 mm²
• Length: 50 m
• Number and size of strands: 50 x 0.25 mm (strand configuration)
• Insulation: transparent jacket for visual conductor identification
• Intended use: speaker and audio signal wiring for short-to-medium runs

How to use

Measure the required cable length and cut from the spool, allowing slack for routing and connections. Strip the insulation at connection points to expose the conductor, taking care not to nick the strands. Observe polarity markings and connect positive and negative conductors to the respective terminals on speakers and amplifiers. Ensure firm mechanical connections with suitable terminals, banana plugs, spade lugs, or screw terminals as appropriate. Route the cable away from strong electromagnetic interference sources and secure it with clips or conduits when running through walls or ceilings.

Recommendations

Use this CCA speaker cable for installations where reduced weight and cost are priorities and where CCA conductors meet the system’s electrical and code requirements. For long-distance runs, high-power systems, or where minimum resistance is critical, consider specifying full copper speaker cable instead. Verify local building regulations before using in-wall.
