TruSound 16/2 B2ca-s1a 2-Core 1.5mm (16AWG) LSHF Speaker Cable - Violet, 100m Drum
DETAILS

The TruSound 16/2 is a B2ca-s1a Rated 2-Core 1.5mm LSHF Speaker Cable for 100V line and low impedance installations in safety-critical environments.
The TruSound 16/2 is a 2-Core 1.5mm B2ca-s1a Rated LSHF Speaker Cable, designed for permanent fixed installations in 100V line and low impedance speaker systems across public buildings, high-rise developments and any environment where the highest level of fire safety compliance is required.
The TruSound 16/2 B2ca speaker cable is the correct specification choice for fixed 100V line and low impedance audio installations in environments including schools and universities, hospitals and healthcare facilities, airports and transport hubs, cinemas and theatres, hotels and hospitality venues, offices and commercial buildings, high-rise residential tower blocks, underground rail networks, tunnels and stations.
What is B2ca and Why Does it Matter?
For contractors, installers, electricians and specifiers working on projects in schools, hospitals, airports, hotels, offices, high-rise residential developments, underground rail networks and other high-occupancy or high-risk environments, cable fire safety classification is not optional — it is a legal and regulatory requirement. The TruSound 16/2 achieves a B2ca-s1a, d1, a1 CPR classification under EN50575:2014+A1:2016, one of the highest Euroclass fire ratings available for cables under the Construction Products Regulation (CPR).
B2ca indicates extremely limited flame spread and minimal heat release in the event of a fire. The additional classifications are equally important: s1a denotes very low smoke production, d1 indicates no flaming droplets or particles, and a1 confirms minimal acidity of combustion gases. Combined with its Low Smoke Halogen Free (LSHF) construction, the TruSound 16/2 produces minimal smoke and releases no toxic halogen gases in a fire situation — helping to maintain safe evacuation routes and limiting damage to sensitive equipment and building infrastructure.
Engineered for Professional Fixed Installations
The TruSound 16/2 has been engineered specifically for permanent installation in walls, conduits, ceiling voids and risers across a wide range of commercial and public sector projects. The stranded oxygen-free bare copper conductors ensure excellent signal conductivity and long-term reliability, whilst the dual-layer Low Smoke Halogen Free insulation and sheathing provide robust mechanical protection alongside the cable's exceptional fire performance credentials.
The distinctive violet sheath makes the TruSound 16/2 immediately identifiable on site and within installation pathways — a practical benefit for installers and maintenance engineers working within complex multi-cable building environments. The two cores are identified by Red and Blue colour coding for straightforward and consistent termination throughout the installation.
Compliance You Can Rely On
The TruSound 16/2 carries a comprehensive suite of compliance certifications to give contractors, specifiers and building control professionals complete confidence in the product. In addition to its B2ca CPR classification, the cable is compliant with BS EN 60332-1-2 for flame retardancy, BS EN 61034-2 for low smoke generation and BS EN 60754-1&2 for halogen gas emission. It is RoHS and CE compliant under LVD (2014/35/EU) and CPR (305/2011), and has been UV and weather tested to ISO 4892-3 for reliable performance in exposed installation environments. The cable carries a voltage rating of 450/750V and has been test voltage rated at 2.5kV for 5 minutes.
