Elite Cable 16/2 Shielded Low Voltage Multi Use Cable is engineered for dependable performance in professional speaker, audio, automation, security, and control system installations. Manufactured with 16 AWG stranded 100% oxygen free copper conductors, this cable delivers excellent conductivity, flexibility, and long term reliability for clean signal transmission and smooth installation.
Its 16 AWG conductors make it an excellent choice for in ceiling and distributed audio speaker systems, including home theaters, commercial sound systems, background music, and whole building audio. The stranded design makes the cable easy to route through conduit, walls, ceilings, and around corners while providing a secure connection to speakers, amplifiers, receivers, and audio equipment.
An AL Mylar shield and drain wire help reduce electromagnetic interference and electrical noise for cleaner audio and more dependable low voltage signal transmission. In addition to speaker installations, this versatile cable can be used for building automation, access control, intercom systems, HVAC controls, low voltage power, and other control circuits.
The premium CMP plenum rated jacket is made with low smoke, flame retardant materials for installation in air handling spaces, drop ceilings, and other plenum areas where enhanced fire safety is required. UL Listed and manufactured to meet industry standards, this cable gives professional installers a flexible solution for speaker, audio, automation, and control applications.

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 CMP plenum rating mean?
A: CMP indicates the cable is approved for installation in plenum and air handling spaces. It is manufactured with low smoke, flame retardant materials that meet stricter fire safety requirements than CMR riser cable.
Q: What is the difference between CMP and CMR cable?
A: CMP cable can be installed in both plenum spaces and riser applications, while CMR cable is intended only for riser installations between floors. CMP provides a higher fire safety rating and greater installation flexibility.
Q: Can this cable be installed outdoors?
A: No. This cable is designed for indoor installations. Outdoor applications require cable specifically rated for outdoor exposure.
Q: Can this cable be buried underground?
A: No. This cable is not rated for direct burial. Underground installations require a cable specifically designed for direct burial use.
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, alarm systems, intercoms, audio equipment, industrial controls, instrumentation, and other low voltage signal and power applications where plenum-rated cable is required.
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 CMP low voltage cable is trusted by electrical contractors, low voltage installers, automation professionals, and system integrators for commercial and residential plenum installations.
