Speaker Wire
Hello again, I'm back for more speaker questions. I work in the technology department of a school district, and we are currently putting SmartBoards into classrooms. Each classroom is also getting speakers mounted in the ceiling tiles, with four speakers and two channels on the output source. The contractors are using Category 5-E network cable for the passive speaker connections, using pairs at the source and splitting to individual wires to accommodate the number of speakers.
What are the properties of network cable that make it good for speaker wire? Is it a good alternative, or is it just a cheap replacement? Any ideas on how many watts it can handle? Thanks for any answers.
