So this is not CL2 rated? I made the same mistake and ordered for in-wall pre wiring in my now home. The category does say in-wall.

Is this cable rated for outdoor use?
A shopper
on Dec 18, 2018
BEST ANSWER: I want to start out by saying I am not an expert on speaker wire. I used the wire I purchased for an outdoor home theatre. I installed all the wires in pvc conduit. I’m sure the wire would hold up pretty well, but you have to realize if you don’t put the wire in conduit you run the risk of squirrels and other animals chewing up the wires. The other thing is the sun’s UV rays will eventually break down the insulation on the wires.

What makes this cable "in-wall" rated? It is not CL2 or CL3, so I'm not sure how it differs from the Select series. Thanks.

BEST ANSWER: This cable would be VW-1 rated.
You would want to go with something like the Access cables to get a CL2 rated cable.

Copper is best
For speaker wire, this is perfect stuff. Forget the copper clad aluminum, use pure copper wire for your quality audio. Why scrimp after what you've put into your audio or AV system and speakers? I found this to be one of the best-priced copper wire around from a company you can trust. The wire is easy to work with and has a marked conductor to keep your polarity straight. I'd like to say I would buy it again, but... I got the 300 ft roll and expect it to last awhile!. But I would again, no question.

Good product, as promised
Nice product, no complaints. All copper as described. A colored line on the casing delineates the terminals to avoid confusion at either end. Good value for the money. I purchase the 300 foot spool and probably only used 125 feet or to send wires underneath my house to connect speakers. I doubt I'll need the remaining wire for a long time, but it's was worth it to not worrying about running out of wire when you are army crawling underneath the floor of your house with a flashlight.
