Choosing your Gauge
Choosing The Right Gauge
Gauge, the thickness of the wire, matters significantly when installing cable that stretches across a long range in your residential home or commercial property. Generally, higher gauge wire will create more resistance for the audio signal because the signal has a narrower path to travel. The more resistance a digital audio signal encounters, the more the signal will degrade, leading to poorer audio quality. To solve this, purchasing and installing the appropriate wire will ensure high-quality digital audio delivered throughout your property. The chart below shows the recommended lengths based on the impedance of the electrical device you are connecting.
Recommended Length/Gauge Ratio
Gauge/Speaker | 4 Ohms | 6 Ohms | 8 Ohms |
18 Gauge | 16ft | 24ft | 32ft |
16 Gauge | 24ft | 36ft | 48ft |
14 Gauge | 40ft | 60ft | 80ft |
12 Gauge | 60ft | 90ft | 120ft |
Waterproofing Types
Gel Filled
PetroleumBased Waterproofing Solution
Gel-filled direct burial cabling is a great solution to your entertainment installation if you want to make sure the cables you purchase last through years of seasonal weather changes, moisture, pests, and short-term temperature shifts. Should cracks or gashes develop on the cable's outer jacket, the gel can seal them up, providing a barrier of protection between the environment and the copper wiring.
Tape Shielding
Multiple Layer Based Waterproofing Solution
Utilizing multiple layers of dry waterproof tape to ensure a substantial level of waterproofing. Each individual is wrapped in PET with a layer of Mylar shielding wrapped around the entire bundle. These layers protect and shield the audio cables from weather conditions similar to the gel-filled cable solutions.
