PD-Connex RX18 - Transparent Parallel Speaker Cable 2 x 2.5mm² in 100m Roll
The PD-Connex RX18 is a high-quality speaker cable designed to provide a reliable and efficient audio connection between amplifiers and speakers. Presented on a convenient 100-meter reel, this two-conductor parallel cable is an excellent solution for both home audio installations and small-scale background sound projects. Its robust yet flexible construction, along with its discreet design, makes it a versatile and high-performing choice for any audio enthusiast or professional.
Each of the two conductors has a cross-section of 2.5 mm², an ideal size to minimize signal loss and ensure optimal power transmission over moderate distances. This cross-section is perfect for most home theater systems, Hi-Fi equipment, and bookshelf or floorstanding speakers. The internal composition, consisting of 205 fine strands of 0.13 mm per conductor, gives the cable exceptional flexibility, greatly facilitating its installation through walls, baseboards, or around tight corners without risk of damaging the internal strands.
The outer casing is made of transparent PVC, giving it a discreet appearance that blends seamlessly into any décor. To ensure a correct connection and prevent phase errors that could degrade sound quality, one of the conductors is clearly marked with a solid red line. This polarity guide simplifies the installation process, guaranteeing that the positive and negative terminals are connected correctly every time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this cable made of pure copper (OFC) or copper-clad aluminum (CCA)?
This cable is made with copper-clad aluminum (CCA) conductors. This construction offers a more economical alternative to pure copper, while maintaining good conductivity suitable for most home audio applications and moderate cable lengths.
What type of connectors can I use with this cable?
The PD-Connex RX18 cable is compatible with most speaker connectors. It can be used bare for direct connection to spring or screw terminals, or it can be terminated with banana, spade, or pin connectors for a more secure and professional connection.
Is the 2.5mm² section suitable for my speakers and amplifier?
A 2.5mm² cable section is a very versatile standard, ideal for most speakers (4 to 8 ohms) at distances up to 20 meters without any audible signal degradation. It is an excellent choice for low and medium power amplifiers.
Can this cable be used for outdoor installations?
The standard PVC cover is not designed to withstand prolonged exposure to the sun's UV rays or extreme humidity. Therefore, it is recommended for indoor use only.
