  • UL Listed With UL 1685 Flame Rating For Code-Compliant Installations

The West Penn AQ227BK0500 is engineered for integrators and installers who need a reliable, long-run speaker cable that can be buried directly in the ground or routed through demanding outdoor environments without conduit. Rated for CL3, FPL, and PLTC circuits, it meets NEC requirements for low-voltage power and power-limited trac circuits in both indoor and outdoor applications, making it a compliant choice for permanent distributed audio systems, landscape sound, and commercial installations.

The cable's ASTM bare copper conductors ensure consistent signal transfer over long runs, while the dual-layer PVC and nylon insulation resists moisture ingress and mechanical stress. The overall Aquaseal PVC jacket is formulated specifically for sunlight resistance and direct-burial exposure, eliminating the need for additional weatherproofing or conduit in most installations. At 12 AWG, it handles the low-impedance speaker loads common in installed sound systems without excessive voltage drop across extended cable runs.

For AV integrators specifying cable for outdoor amphitheaters, commercial properties, hospitality venues, or any install where cable must survive the elements long-term, the AQ227BK0500 delivers code-compliant, field-proven performance on a 1,000 ft spool sized for professional job-site quantities.
