About the 9497
The Belden 9497 speaker cable features two 16 AWG stranded (19x29) high-conductivity ETP tinned copper conductors with PVC insulation. It is an unshielded, twisted pair cable with a nominal outer diameter of 0.21 inches (5.3 mm). The cable is recognized for its low DC resistance of 4.27 Ohms per 1000 feet and nominal inductance of 0.19 µH per foot, making it suitable for high-fidelity audio speaker connections. It operates within a temperature range of -30°C to +80°C and has a maximum recommended current of 7.1 Amps per conductor at 25°C. The cable is UL AWM Style 1007 rated for 300 V RMS and meets various environmental and safety standards including RoHS, CE, and VW-1 flame test. Its twisted pair design helps cancel out high-frequency interference without the use of shielding, preserving signal agility and tonal balance. The cable is commonly used in audiophile setups and is praised for its neutrality, openness, and transparency in sound reproduction.
