Nordost Leifstyle installation cables are purpose-built with all three criteria in mind.<\/p>\n<p>Nordost\u2019s newest addition to the Leifstyle line, the 14-2 Speaker Cable, uses two 14 AWG, 99.9999% OFC stranded conductors, which have been extruded with premium PVC. This heavy gauged speaker cable is specifically constructed for in-wall installation. As such, Nordost\u2019s 14-2 Speaker Cable is RoHS Compliant and has a UL rating of CL3, which is rated for up to 300 volts. The 14-2 Speaker Cable\u2019s durability and flexibility make it the perfect solution for snaking your speaker cables through walls, giving your listening room a sleek look without compromising the sound and integrity of your sound system.<\/p>\n<p>The new Leifstyle 14-2 Speaker Cable is available in an extremely wide variety of lengths in order to accommodate any job. But while your 14-2 Leifstyle cable may not be seen once installed, it will certainly be heard with clarity! The performance level of your audio system will receive a noticeable lift, increasing musical flow, dynamics and expressive range\u2014gains that can only be achieved with the precision and detail that is put into every Nordost product. Leifstyle installation cables follow Nordost\u2019s unique and simplistic cable philosophy: cables are connections, not filters, so that you are left with an impression of the music, not of the cabling.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/nordost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Lg-14-2-Leifstyle-terminated.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-1147 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/nordost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Lg-14-2-Leifstyle-terminated-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Lg-14-2-Leifstyle-terminated\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nordost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Lg-14-2-Leifstyle-terminated-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nordost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Lg-14-2-Leifstyle-terminated-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/nordost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Lg-14-2-Leifstyle-terminated-1024x1024.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 85vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Insulation: Extruded Premium PVC<\/li>\n<li>Conductors: 41 strand 2&#215;14 AWG<\/li>\n<li>Material: 99.9999% OFC<\/li>\n<li>Capacitance: 11.0pF\/ft<\/li>\n<li>Inductance: 0.19uH\/ft<\/li>\n<li>Velocity of propagation: 85% Speed of light<\/li>\n<li>Termination: Gold-plated Spade or Z-plug Banana<\/li>\n<li>Approvals: RoHS Compliant, UL: CL3<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When looking for the perfect installation cable to use in setting up a home sound system, three areas must be addressed: durability, discrete placement, and performance.
