The number of strands is meaningless as to the quality of the cable. The ONLY reason for using stranded wire is that it is much more flexible than solid wire.

Q: i realize this states for in wall but does not specify if UL approved, is it actually UL approved so it will pass building code for in wall use?

Attached is an excerpt from UL.com guide card for AVLV2 category code. It describes how certified wire should be marked. You can check for UL certification at UL.com on-line certification directory if you know manufacturer name or file number. The seller may be able to get you this information for proof of certification. REQUIREMENTS The basic standard used to investigate products in this category is ANSI/UL 758, "Appliance Wiring Material." In addition, IEC TS 60695-11-21, "Fire Hazard Testing - Part 11-21: Test Flames - 500 W Vertical Flame Test Method for Tubular Polymeric Materials," may also be used. UL MARKING Components Recognized under UL's Component Recognition Program are identified by markings consisting of the Recognition Mark of UL (shown below) on the attached tag, the reel, or the smallest unit container in which the product is packaged. In addition to the above tag, reel or container marking, the Recognized Component Mark may optionally be surface printed on the appliance wiring material. When used, the product name "Appliance Wiring Material" (or "AWM") will also be surface printed adjacent to the Recognized Component Mark , followed by the Recognized company's identification and/or file number. If the Recognized company's file number is an element of the surface printing, the Recognized Component Mark is required to also be surface printed. The Listing or Classification Mark of UL is not authorized for use on, or in connection with, Recognized Components. Only those components that actually bear the "Marking" should be considered as being covered under the Component Recognition Program. UR APPLIANCE WIRING MATERIAL or UR AWM

Q: Can is be used outside? Direct 14/4 direct-burial speaker wire

The wire that I purchased was 14/2 and was not rated for direct-burial or in-wall use. You should look for wire specified for that application. This would not be suitable for that, though I would be comfortable hanging/stringing it along under eaves or a patio roof, so long as it was reasonably sheltered.

Real solid cable

Can't go wrong with this. It is thicker than I expected - I would have gone for a 14 or 16 AWG as this does seem like overkill, but it's one of the rather fair priced cables in it's category.I've been looking around at a lot of other CCA (copper-clad aluminum) options at the same price, sometimes even higher. Surely better to go with this instead, hands down.

Great Quality

Why spend an arm and a leg for speaker cable comprised of 100% pure copper sourced from Mount Eribor, mined by Durin's Folk and smelted in a furnace heated by bellows made from the hides of mongolian yaks! I wont be able to tell the difference in the sound quality between that and the AmazonBasics speaker wire!Used for an additional pair of Jamo ceiling speakers and up to the task at a very competitive price. Read the technical reviews on websites better qualified to comment than me!

Excellent speaker wire but be careful.

The quality of the wire is truly amazing. Using it with Marantz AV receiver and 5.1 Klipsch speakers. Even though this wire may not me 100% copper, the resistance matters only when the cable is very long. For simple setups, you can rely on this cable. If you have a larger room please opt for a pure copper cable.
