This is a 16-gauge, two-conductor stranded copper cable with a black PVC jacket, sold by the roll and UL listed. It is built for low-voltage runs such as landscape lighting, doorbells, thermostats and speaker wire, not for household line voltage. The stranded copper stays flexible for pulling through conduit and around corners, which is easier than solid wire on short bends. It is a basic utility cable; shoppers comparing it with heavier 14/2 or 12/2 building wire should note it is thinner and meant for low-current work.

Buyers of this class of Southwire low-voltage cable generally report it pulls cleanly and holds up outdoors, while electricians caution that 16/2 is only for low-current jobs.

The cable is cut by the roll and carries a voltage rating of 150 V. It has a UL safety listing and a 1-year limited warranty.
