PD-Connex RX12W - Speaker Cable for 100V Line, 2 x 1.5mm², 100m Roll
The PD-Connex RX12W is a professional two-core speaker cable, specially designed for use in 100V line-based distributed audio systems. Presented on a convenient 100-meter reel, this cable is the ideal solution for installers and technicians requiring a reliable, high-quality connection in large-scale sound reinforcement projects. Its robust construction and technical specifications ensure clear signal transmission with minimal loss, even over long distances.
Each of the two internal conductors is made of high-purity copper and has a cross-sectional area of 1.5 mm². This cross-sectional area is crucial for minimizing voltage drop and power loss, ensuring that the speakers receive a complete and powerful signal. The composition of each conductor, made up of 45 fine strands of 0.2 mm, provides excellent flexibility, facilitating its handling and installation through conduits, suspended ceilings, or walls.
Main features
-
100V Line Design: Specifically optimized for public address (PA) and high impedance distributed audio systems, common in commercial and industrial environments.
-
1.5mm² Copper Conductors: The generous cross-section of its two conductors ensures low resistance and efficient signal transmission, ideal for connecting multiple speakers or covering long distances without sound degradation.
-
Flexible Construction: Composed of 45 strands of 0.2mm per conductor, the cable is malleable and easy to install in any type of mounting, even on complicated curves and corners.
-
Durable PVC Cover: The white PVC outer cover not only protects the internal conductors from physical damage, but also provides a discreet, professional finish that blends easily into most decors.
-
100m Roll Supply: The 100-meter roll format offers great versatility for projects of any size, allowing sections to be cut to the exact size needed and minimizing waste.
Product benefits
Using PD-Connex RX12W cable provides a solid and reliable foundation for any professional sound system installation. Its 1.5mm² cross-section is key to ensuring audio quality in 100V line systems, where long cable runs are common. By reducing signal loss, it ensures that speech intelligibility and music clarity remain intact from the amplifier to the last speaker in the line. Its flexibility and durable jacket simplify the installer's job, saving time and ensuring a secure and long-lasting connection.
Use cases
This cable is the perfect choice for a wide variety of fixed installations, such as:
- Background music and public address systems in shopping centers, supermarkets and stores.
- Sound installations in educational centers, offices and corporate buildings.
- Voice alert and evacuation systems in industrial buildings, warehouses and parking lots.
- Sound systems for places of worship, auditoriums, hotels and restaurants.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this cable for low impedance (4/8 ohms) home speakers?
This is not the ideal application. This cable is optimized for 100V high-impedance systems. For home hi-fi systems, we recommend using a standard speaker cable designed for low impedance, which typically has a different construction to maximize sound quality under those conditions.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor installations?
Standard PVC sheathing is not designed to withstand prolonged exposure to the sun's UV rays or extreme weather conditions. For outdoor use, it must be installed inside a suitable conduit or duct to protect it from the elements.
What advantage does a 1.5mm² cable offer compared to one with a smaller cross-section such as 0.75mm²?
A cable with a larger cross-section (1.5 mm²) has less electrical resistance. This translates to less power and signal loss, especially over long distances or when many speakers are connected to the same line. It allows for more power to be delivered to the speakers efficiently.
