Speaker Cable 2 x 4 mm² OFC Copper 5 m, PVC Insulation, Black

Quick Facts — LY240 Speaker cable

• Model: LY240
• Type: Speaker cable, 2 conductors
• Cross-section: 2 x 4 mm²
• Length: 5 m
• Conductor material: OFC copper
• Insulation: PVC, black
• Resistance: < 4.5 Ohm/km

Speaker cable LY240 is a two-conductor cable in oxygen-free copper (OFC) with a 2 x 4 mm² cross-section, supplied as a fixed 5 m length. It is intended for audio installations in studios, PA systems, stage rigs and Hi-Fi setups.

Each conductor is built from 224 x 0.15 mm strands of fine copper, giving a low-resistance signal path under 4.5 Ohm/km. The jacket is black PVC rated from -20 °C to +70 °C.

What makes speaker cable LY240 a strong choice for studio, PA and Hi-Fi?

The large 2 x 4 mm² cross-section and resistance below 4.5 Ohm/km give low voltage drop, which suits long cable runs and high power. The conductors consist of 224 strands of 0.15 mm electrolytic copper, keeping the cable flexible to run and rig.

Capacitance is 180 pF/m and inductance 0.50 µH/m. The PVC insulation is black and the cable weighs 185 g/m.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is speaker cable LY240 suitable for outdoor use?

No, not without protection. The cable is durable but not UV-rated, so outdoor use requires shielding from sunlight. The temperature range is -20 °C to +70 °C.

Is speaker cable LY240 suitable for long cable runs?

Yes. The 2 x 4 mm² cross-section gives resistance below 4.5 Ohm/km, which keeps voltage drop low. This version is however supplied as a fixed 5 m length.

How does speaker cable LY240 differ from other speaker cables?

LY240 has 4 mm² per conductor in oxygen-free copper (OFC) with 224 x 0.15 mm fine-strand conductors. A cross-section larger than 2.5 mm² gives lower resistance over long runs or at high power.
