AOC 2-Core 1.5 Sq Mm Speaker Cable Per Metre

AOC 2-Core 1.5 Sq Mm Speaker Cable Per Metre

The AOC 2-Core 1.5 Sq Mm Speaker Cable is a two-core loudspeaker cable with a listed conductor size of 1.5 square millimetres, sold by the metre. It is intended for the standard job of a speaker cable: carrying the output of an amplifier to a passive loudspeaker. Ordering by the metre lets an installer cut exact run lengths for a room or a project instead of adapting fixed pre-made leads, and the two-core format provides the pair of conductors that a single speaker circuit requires, one for each side of the connection.

Key features

• Two-core speaker cable for amplifier to passive speaker runs
• Listed conductor size of 1.5 sq mm
• Sold per metre for route-based quantity selection
• Bulk format for cutting and terminating on site
• AOC speaker cable listing, SKU AOC-2-CORE
• Suits home and installed audio speaker wiring

Choosing cable by size, run, and load

Speaker cable selection is a planning exercise with three inputs: the length of the run, the impedance of the loudspeaker, and the amplifier’s requirements. Longer runs and lower-impedance speakers both argue for a larger conductor cross-section, because the cable’s own resistance becomes a larger share of the total load and can begin to affect the amplifier’s control of the speaker. A 1.5 sq mm two-core cable is a common working size for domestic and light installed systems over short to moderate distances, which covers the majority of living-room, small venue, and multi-room runs. For unusually long routes, low-impedance loads, or high-power systems, work the figures out from the system design or step up a size rather than stretching a smaller cable beyond sensible limits.

Typical installations

This format of bulk speaker cable is what installers reach for when wiring a home theatre’s surround channels, a stereo pair in a second room, background music speakers in a shop, cafe, or office, and fixed installations in halls and places of worship where the cable is dressed into trunking or run above a ceiling once and expected to stay there. Buying by the metre keeps waste down: measure each route, add a working allowance for termination and service access at both ends, and order to the plan. It also keeps every channel in a system on the same cable, which makes labelling, fault-finding, and later changes considerably simpler than a patchwork of different pre-made leads.

Installation and care notes

Keep polarity consistent throughout the system, connecting the same conductor to the same terminal polarity at the amplifier and the speaker on every channel, and label both ends of each run before the cable disappears into containment. Use connectors or terminals suited to the equipment, secure the cable without crushing or sharply kinking it, and check the finished circuit for short circuits between the two cores before an amplifier is connected and powered. The listing does not state a conductor material, jacket rating, or installation certification for this cable, so where a project specification calls for a particular construction or fire rating, confirm the supplied cable against that specification separately.

The AOC 2-core 1.5 sq mm speaker cable is a straightforward bulk cable for planned amplifier-to-speaker wiring, bought by the metre and terminated to suit the installation.
