Elite Cable 16/2 Shielded Low Voltage Multi Use Cable is built for reliable performance in speaker, audio, automation, security, and control system installations. Manufactured with 16 AWG stranded oxygen free copper conductors, it provides excellent conductivity, flexibility, and long term durability for professional residential and commercial projects.
The 16 AWG conductor size makes this cable an excellent choice for home theater speakers, distributed audio systems, commercial sound systems, amplifiers, receivers, intercoms, access control, building automation, HVAC controls, and other low voltage applications. Its stranded construction makes the cable easier to route through walls, conduit, ceilings, and around corners while maintaining dependable connections.
An AL Mylar foil shield and drain wire help reduce electromagnetic interference and electrical noise for cleaner audio and more stable signal transmission. The durable CMR riser rated jacket is approved for in wall and vertical installations between floors. It is also UV protected and direct burial rated, allowing the same cable to be used for indoor, outdoor, and underground low voltage projects.
UL and cUL Listed, FT4 rated, RoHS compliant, and rated for temperatures up to 75°C, Elite Cable 16/2 Shielded Low Voltage Multi Use Cable gives installers a versatile solution for demanding speaker, audio, control, and automation installations.

Certifications:
Infinity Cable Products prides itself on offering the highest quality products possible. Our Elite 16/2 Shielded Low Voltage Multi-Use Cable is engineered and tested to ensure reliable performance, durability, and compatibility for a wide range of automation, control, and low-voltage applications.
Q: What is 16/2 shielded low voltage cable used for?
A: This cable is commonly used for low voltage control, automation, security, audio, access control, industrial controls, and other applications that require two conductors with additional protection against electrical interference.
Q: Why should I choose shielded cable instead of unshielded cable?
A: Shielded cable helps reduce electromagnetic interference from nearby electrical equipment, motors, lighting, and power cables, helping maintain cleaner and more reliable signal transmission.
Q: What is the purpose of the drain wire?
A: The drain wire provides a convenient grounding point for the aluminum Mylar shield, helping maximize shielding effectiveness when properly terminated.
Q: What does the CMR riser rating mean?
A: CMR indicates the cable is approved for vertical riser installations between floors as well as general in wall applications where riser-rated cable is required by building codes.
Q: Can this cable be installed outdoors?
A: Yes. The UV protected jacket is designed to withstand outdoor exposure, making it suitable for many exterior low voltage installations.
Q: Can this cable be buried underground?
A: Yes. This cable is rated for direct burial, allowing it to be installed underground without requiring conduit in many applications. Always follow local electrical codes.
Q: Why are oxygen free copper conductors important?
A: Oxygen free copper provides excellent conductivity, flexibility, and long term reliability while delivering lower electrical resistance than copper clad aluminum conductors.
Q: Why are stranded conductors used?
A: Stranded conductors make the cable more flexible, making it easier to install through conduit, walls, equipment, and tight routing paths while resisting conductor fatigue.
Q: What applications is this cable commonly used for?
A: This cable is commonly used for access control systems, automation controls, gate operators, alarm systems, intercoms, audio equipment, industrial controls, instrumentation, and other low voltage signal and power applications.
Q: Can this cable be installed in conduit?
A: Yes. This cable may be installed in conduit when additional mechanical protection is desired or required by local electrical codes.
Q: What does the 300V rating mean?
A: The 300 volt rating indicates the maximum operating voltage the cable insulation is designed to safely withstand when installed according to applicable electrical codes.
Q: Is this cable suitable for professional installations?
A: Yes. This 16/2 shielded low voltage cable is trusted by electrical contractors, low voltage installers, automation professionals, and system integrators for commercial and residential installations.
