  • ASTM Bare Copper Conductors With PVC And Nylon Insulation Ensure Long-Term Signal Integrity
  • CL3/FPL/PLTC Multi-Listing Supports Flexible Circuit Type Compliance Across Install Types

West Penn AQ225BK1000 is a 16 AWG, 2-conductor unshielded speaker cable built for contractors and integrators running low-voltage audio circuits in demanding indoor/outdoor environments. The Aquaseal PVC jacket with sunlight and moisture resistance makes it a reliable choice for underground burial, exterior conduit, and exposed outdoor routing without the added complexity of conduit protection in many jurisdictions.

The cable carries NEC Type CL3, FPL, and PLTC ratings, making it compliant for power-limited tronics circuits, fire alarm power-limited circuits, and Class 3 remote-control wiring — giving integrators flexibility across multiple circuit types within a single cable specification. ASTM bare copper conductors with PVC and nylon insulation maintain signal integrity across distributed audio runs, and UL 1685 flame rating satisfies code requirements for plenum-adjacent and commercial installs.

Packaged on a standard 1000 ft spool, this cable suits large-format installs such as outdoor venue distributed speaker systems, campus paging networks, and permanent outdoor PA infrastructure where run length, burial rating, and code compliance all need to be addressed with a single product decision.
