PD-Connex RX16 - Transparent Parallel Speaker Cable 2x1.5mm² (100m Roll)

PD-Connex RX16 - Transparent Parallel Speaker Cable 2x1.5mm² (100m Roll)

The PD-Connex RX16 is a high-quality parallel speaker cable designed to deliver reliable and clear audio signal transmission in a wide variety of applications. Presented on a convenient 100-meter reel, this cable is the ideal solution for both professional installers and audio enthusiasts looking to make custom connections in home, commercial, or hi-fi sound systems.

Its two-conductor construction, each with a 1.5mm² cross-section, ensures low resistance and minimal signal loss, preserving the quality and dynamics of the original sound. Each conductor is made up of 125 fine strands of 0.13mm, giving the cable exceptional flexibility. This feature greatly facilitates handling and installation, allowing it to be easily routed around corners, baseboards, or through conduits without risk of damaging the internal conductors.

The outer jacket is made of transparent PVC, a durable material that protects the internal conductors while providing a discreet aesthetic, allowing the cable to blend seamlessly into any environment. To ensure a correct connection and prevent phase issues in the speakers, one of the conductors features a clear red polarity indicator, simplifying the process of identifying the positive and negative terminals during installation.

Main Features

• 1.5mm² section: Suitable gauge for efficient audio transmission in most Hi-Fi, home cinema and ambient sound systems.
• Flexible Conductors: Composed of 125 strands of 0.13mm per conductor, it offers great flexibility for easy installation in any space.
• Transparent Cover: The transparent PVC coating is durable and aesthetically discreet, ideal for visible installations.
• Polarity Marker: A continuous red line on one of the conductors allows for quick and safe polarity identification, ensuring that the speakers are in phase.
• Professional Format: Supplied in a 100-meter roll, perfect for large-scale projects or for having cable for multiple custom installations.
• Current Capacity: Supports a maximum current of up to 15A, offering compatibility with a wide range of amplifiers and passive speakers.

User Benefits

• Optimal Sound Quality: The 1.5mm² section ensures that the amplifier's power reaches the speakers without significant loss, resulting in clear, crisp, and distortion-free sound.
• Error-Free Installation: Thanks to its flexibility and clear polarity indicator, connecting the speakers is quick, easy and reliable, even for users without technical experience.
• Application Versatility: It is the perfect choice for a wide variety of projects, from connecting a home stereo system to multi-zone sound installations in shops or offices.
• Excellent Quantity-Price Ratio: The 100-meter roll format offers a very competitive cost per meter, allowing for multiple custom connections and optimizing the investment.

Use Cases

• Connecting front, center and surround speakers in home theater systems.
• Background music and ambient sound installations in restaurants, shops, offices and homes.
• High fidelity (Hi-Fi) systems for connecting bookshelf or floorstanding speakers to an amplifier.
• Custom audio projects and DIY (Do It Yourself) projects that require specific cable lengths.
• Conference rooms and public spaces for low and medium power public address systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this cable made with OFC copper or CCA aluminum?
This model is manufactured with high-quality drivers, although the exact specifications may vary. Generally, it offers excellent and reliable performance for home audio and background sound applications.

Is it suitable for outdoor installations?
Standard PVC siding is designed primarily for indoor use. Prolonged exposure to the elements or direct sunlight is not recommended, as UV rays may degrade the siding over time.

What is the maximum distance I can cover with this cable without losing quality?
For standard 8-ohm speakers, a 1.5mm² cable offers optimal performance over distances up to 15-20 meters. For longer runs or lower impedance speakers, a larger gauge cable (such as 2.5mm²) could be considered to minimize signal loss.

How do I know which conductor to connect to the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals?
Use the conductor marked with the red line for the positive (+) terminal and the completely transparent conductor for the negative (-) terminal at both ends (amplifier and speaker) to ensure a correct connection.
