Speaker cable ShiverPeaks S/CONN 2.5 mm² 100 m transparent CCA

Shielded speaker cable ShiverPeaks S/CONN 2.5 mm² 100 m transparent CCA is a 100-metre audio cable designed for fixed speaker installations. The cable features a 2.5 mm² conductor cross-section made from copper-clad aluminium (CCA) and a transparent outer jacket that allows visual inspection of the conductor. The shielded construction reduces electromagnetic interference and helps maintain signal integrity between amplifiers and passive speakers in home audio, commercial sound systems and multiroom setups. This product is intended to be used with appropriate connectors and correctly observed polarity for reliable audio performance.

Advantages

The shielded design provides improved protection against external noise sources compared with unshielded speaker wires, helping to reduce hum and interference in longer runs. The 2.5 mm² conductor cross-section offers a balance between flexibility and current-carrying capacity suitable for typical residential and small commercial speaker configurations. The transparent jacket enables quick visual verification of conductor condition and polarity marking. Using copper-clad aluminium conductors reduces weight and cost while preserving adequate electrical conductivity for mid-length runs when installed according to recommended practices.

Suitable for

• Fixed home audio speaker wiring (living rooms, home cinema)
• Small commercial audio installations (cafés, meeting rooms)
• Multiroom audio distribution systems
• Runs between amplifiers and passive speakers where shielded cable is preferred

Key specifications

• Conductor cross-section: 2.5 mm²
• Conductor material: copper-clad aluminium (CCA)
• Length: 100 m
• Construction: shielded speaker cable
• Jacket: transparent outer sheath

How to use

Measure the required length and cut the cable to size, keeping the run as direct as possible to minimise signal loss. Strip the outer jacket and insulation carefully to expose the conductors, observing the cable's polarity markings. Terminate the conductors with suitable speaker connectors or solder them to speaker and amplifier terminals, ensuring secure mechanical and electrical contact. Route the shielded cable away from high-voltage power lines and sources of electromagnetic interference where practical; if the shield includes a drain wire, follow grounding recommendations from the amplifier or system designer.

Recommendations

For best results use this cable for runs up to moderate lengths and match conductor area and amplifier power ratings; avoid parallel routing with mains wiring and keep connections tight and correctly polarised. Where minimal resistance and highest conductivity are critical for long or high-power runs, consider using pure copper conductors instead of CCA.
