Wavenet H16E164MYL2-500 | 1 CAT6 UTP 23AWG + 1 Audio 16/4 (Speaker) Cable 16AWG 500ft Reel Combination Cable

The Wavenet H16E164MYL2-500 packages a CAT6E 600MHz UTP network cable and a 16AWG 4-Conductor Audio Cable together on a single 500-foot RIB, purpose-built for installations that need to run both data and speaker audio in one pull. Whether wiring a conference room, a retail environment, a classroom, or a distributed audio system in a residence, this combination eliminates the need for separate cable runs and simplifies rough-in considerably. ETL Listed and CMR-rated, both cables in this assembly are qualified for in-wall and riser use, and the package ships on a convenient RIB (Rope-In-Box) for tangle-free feeding during installation.

Features and Applications

The CAT6E component delivers 600MHz-rated network performance with 23AWG bare solid copper conductors, providing the bandwidth headroom required for Gigabit Ethernet and beyond. Its HDPE insulation and flame-retardant PVC jacket preserve signal integrity across the full rated frequency range while meeting common in-wall safety standards. The ELFEXT performance at 100MHz reaches 28.0 dB/100m minimum, and the PS-ELFEXT hits 25.00 dB/100m minimum — figures that indicate solid far-end crosstalk rejection for reliable link performance across longer horizontal runs.

The 16AWG 4-conductor audio cable brings meaningful current-carrying capacity for speaker-level signals. At 16AWG with a twisted lay, it handles higher-wattage speaker loads with lower resistive loss compared to thinner gauges — a practical advantage for distributed audio zones where amplifier-to-speaker cable runs are measured in dozens or hundreds of feet. The four individually colored conductors (Red, White, Yellow, Blue) allow clean identification for stereo or dual-speaker wiring without guesswork at termination.

Both cables are CMR-rated, satisfying the National Electrical Code requirements for riser-rated installations, and the entire assembly is ETL Listed under c(ETL)US for third-party safety verification.

Uses

The H16E164MYL2-500 is a practical choice for:

Distributed Audio + Data Drops: Pulling network and speaker cable simultaneously to wall plates, ceiling speakers, or AV equipment locations in commercial and residential installations
Conference Rooms and Huddle Spaces: Running a single combination cable to supply both LAN connectivity and local speaker audio from the same pathway
Classrooms and Educational Facilities: Serving desks, lecterns, or AV stations with one pull covering both the network drop and audio distribution wiring
Retail and Hospitality Environments: Combining background music speaker wiring with point-of-sale or guest network data drops in a single conduit or cable tray run
Residential Structured Wiring: Routing both a network cable and speaker wire to living rooms, home theaters, or whole-home audio zones from a structured media center
Riser and In-Wall Runs: Both cables carry a CMR rating, qualifying this combination for installation in building riser pathways and within wall cavities per applicable NEC requirements

Construction

The CAT6E side of this combination is built on four twisted pairs of 23AWG bare solid copper conductors, each insulated with HDPE for low signal loss and dimensional consistency. Pair color coding follows the standard white-with-stripe scheme (Blue, Green, Brown, Orange) for straightforward identification at termination. The assembly is finished with a flame-retardant PVC jacket at 6.5mm nominal outer diameter.

The 16AWG 4-conductor audio cable uses copper conductors with a nominal diameter of 1.98mm, individually insulated with polyethylene/polypropylene at 0.303mm average thickness. The four conductors are twisted together — a construction choice that helps reduce noise pickup over longer runs — and the group is enclosed in a PVC jacket with 0.406mm average thickness, bringing the overall cable diameter to 5.4mm nominal. The four insulation colors (Red, White, Yellow, Blue) are distinct enough for reliable pair identification without labels.

Both cables are packaged together on a 500ft RIB (Rope-In-Box), which allows the cable to feed cleanly from the box during installation without tangling or kinking — a practical advantage over pull-from-center or open-reel packaging on job sites.

The yellow outer jacket on the audio cable makes the two cables visually distinct from each other during installation and at the termination point, reducing mis-termination risk.

Additional Information

Approvals and Certifications

The H16E164MYL2-500 is ETL Listed — c(ETL)US — confirming independent third-party testing and verification against applicable North American product safety standards.

Cable Marking

The cable is marked: CATEGORY 6E 600 MHZ 4PR 23AWG AND 4 COND 16AWG AUDIO CABLE CMR FT4 C(ETL)US XXXXXXX ****FT

The CMR and FT4 designations confirm the cable's suitability for riser-rated in-wall and in-conduit installations under both U.S. (NEC) and Canadian electrical codes.
