Construction
Cable Solutions O2X-Series speaker cables
are made with Oxygen-Free High-Conductivity (OFHC)
copper cable. Each conductor is composed of 7
groups, each having 36 OFHC copper strands, arranged in
a spiral twist configuration, for a total of 252 strands
and an aggregate size of 12 AWG. The two
conductors are jacketed in "water clear" 105 degree
Centigrade PVC material. The conductors are arranged
parallel to one another, which is sometimes referred to
as a Siamese style.
The result is great performance at an attractive
price. This flexible and attractive cable is suitable
for many applications. Because of the flattened
profile, this cable can be run along baseboards or
carpet edges for an unobtrusive look. In addition,
it can handle sharp turns that other cables cannot.
Termination Options
As they say at Vampire Wire, "Without the proper
connector - it's just wire!" That's why we use
high-quality, gold-plated Vampire Wire connectors to
terminate your cables. Choose from any of the Vampire
Wire terminations shown at the right for your cables.
We are offering these cables singly so that you can
combine and customize them to exactly fit your needs.
For example, if you need a matched stereo pair, purchase
one front-left cable and and one front-right cable.
Here are the customization options:
Number of Channels
These cables are sold singly, so any
number of channels can be accommodated, but here are
some popular combinations:
- 2-channel (stereo)
- 3-channel (stereo plus center channel)
- 5-channel (for 5.1 surround)
- 7-channel (for 7.1 surround)
Length
Common lengths range from 1 meter to
20 meters. When purchasing multiple cables for
multiple channels, as an example, you might specify
matching lengths for a purist stereo hook-up, but use
asymmetrical lengths for less critical surround and
effects channels. The choice is yours.

Value
It's confusing, because price does not necessarily
relate directly to sonic or aesthetic improvement. We
had to solve this dilemma for our own custom
installations. Our customers tell us that they
want performance, but they would rather buy extra
components than to tie up thousands of dollars in
speaker cables. That's why we offer these O2X-Series OFHC cables - you get solid
performance at a reasonable price.

This picture shows a typical pair of 4 meter cables. Please choose the length(s) that you prefer below.
Here, we have zoomed in on the right channel cable, to give you a better look.
Here is another shot of the #HDS5 spades - notice the elongated, offset blade, which is a good fit for most equipment. The design also leaves plenty of room for heat-shrink coverage.
Vampire Wire #SS9 spades are our second most popular. They have a stepped blade, which works with many different binding posts, including oversized designs. This pictures shows the connectors installed on Canare Star Quad cable, but the appearance on Vampire Wire 826C is similar.
These #BAR spades are a good choice for smaller terminals or barrier strips. This pictures shows the connectors installed on Canare Star Quad cable, but the appearance on Vampire Wire 826C is similar.
Vampire Wire #SPD8 spades have a slimmer blade, which can be helpful in cases of clearance problems. This pictures shows the connectors installed on Canare Star Quad cable, but the appearance on Vampire Wire 826C is similar.
The #PIN1 pins are an excellent choice for equipment with large spring-clips, or for use in combination with banana plugs. This pictures shows the connectors installed on Canare Star Quad cable, but the appearance on Vampire Wire 826C is similar.
Here is the #SB single banana plug, installed on an #HDS5 spade. (#SB requires #PIN1 pins or #HDS5 spades)
Here are the #DB double banana plugs. (#DB requires #PIN1 pins)
