[Size: 25 FT]
After 30+ years as an electrician, along with an electrical engineering background, I don't find anything particularly exotic about this 16/2 control cable—and that's perfectly fine. It's a good-grade, listed cable intended for 0–10V control work, and its CL3P rating makes it useful where plenum-rated cable is required.For lighting installations, I normally prefer MC cable that includes the control conductors for fixture whips, whether prefab or field-made. If conduit is available, even better: I'll simply pull the appropriate pink and violet control conductors along with what the installation requires. For simpler control connections between fixtures, however, cable like this can be a convenient solution. Secure it properly, keep the installation neat, and move on to the next hundred things on the job.The conductors here are solid. Personally, I prefer stranded because it's generally easier for me to handle and terminate, especially when working around fixtures. A 0–10V control circuit carries very little current, so we're not exactly trying to start a locomotive through these conductors.One important point: don't assume that because these are control wires they can automatically share a raceway or enclosure with higher-voltage conductors. The insulation ratings, equipment requirements, listing, and applicable electrical code all matter. If you're installing control conductors alongside 120V or 277V circuits, verify that everything is properly rated for that application.Overall, this is useful, straightforward cable at a reasonable cost. It does what I expect from 0–10V control wire, and the listing is important to me.Nothing magical here—just the right wire for the right application. In electrical work, boring and correct is usually a very good combination.

I needed a proper control cable for a 0-10V dimming LED system, and generic wire was not going to cut it for a plenum-rated run through the ceiling space, so I looked for something built specifically for this application. It is a 16/2 gauge 0-10V dimming control cable, 16 AWG solid bare copper, ETL listed CL3P plenum rated and flame retardant, rated for 0 to 30V low-voltage dimming systems. Running it through a shared plenum space meant the fire rating was not optional, which is exactly why I wanted a properly certified cable rather than cutting corners. I pulled a run through a ceiling space and connected it to a dimming driver to judge the wire quality, the ease of pulling, and whether the dimming signal was clean.The cable itself is genuinely well made. The 16 AWG solid bare copper conductors felt substantial rather than thin strands that fray easily, the color-coded jacket made polarity identification straightforward during termination, and the CL3P plenum rating and flame-retardant jacket meant I could run it through the shared plenum space without violating code. The distinct pink and purple jacket coloring also made it easy to distinguish from other cable runs in a crowded ceiling space.In use it performed exactly as a proper control cable should. The dimming signal came through clean with no flickering or erratic behavior at the driver, pulling the cable through the ceiling space was manageable thanks to a reasonably flexible jacket despite the solid conductors, and the termination was straightforward with the clear conductor identification. For a system where dimming reliability matters, that clean signal transmission was exactly what I needed.Maintenance is essentially nothing once installed, since it is a fixed cable run behind the ceiling. The main practical note is making sure connections stay properly terminated and protected at the driver and switch ends, which is standard practice for any low-voltage control wiring rather than something specific to this cable.The value comes from getting genuinely code-compliant, properly rated cable for a plenum installation rather than risking a cheaper, unrated wire that would fail inspection or, worse, pose an actual fire risk. For anyone running dimming control wiring through a shared airspace, paying for the correct CL3P rating is not optional, and this delivered the certification along with solid electrical performance.The reason I am keeping this at four stars is specific. Working with solid-conductor cable in tight ceiling spaces takes a bit more care during pulling and termination than a stranded cable would, since it is less forgiving of sharp bends, so it rewards a careful installer over a rushed one. That is a real consideration rather than a defect, and installed with reasonable care it has performed flawlessly.The best buyer is an installer or knowledgeable DIYer running 0-10V dimming control wiring through a plenum space who needs genuinely code-compliant, reliable cable. Installed with proper care it delivers clean dimming signal and passes inspection without issue, and the only real caveat is the slightly more deliberate handling solid-conductor cable requires.

I installed this cable as the low-voltage power wiring for a pair of LED work lights in my workshop. The run includes several corners, enters a junction box, and is supported with cable clips roughly every 16 inches.The cable matches the advertised full-size 16 AWG solid copper conductors, and the jacket is clearly printed with the CL3P plenum rating and other specifications. The pink and violet conductors are easy to identify, even though I was simply using them as power conductors in my installation.The solid conductors bend about as expected for 16 AWG copper and held their shape well around corners and when entering the junction box without trying to spring back. I also connected the cable to stranded fixture leads using standard wire nuts without any problems.Since this is a solid two-conductor round cable with a fairly loose outer jacket, I found rotary jacket cutting tools worked better than my grip-and-strip style for clean and reliable cuts. I failed to recognize the purpose of the rip cord, so I didn't test it.Overall, this appears to be a well-made control cable with accurate conductor sizing, clear markings, and good flexibility for permanent low-voltage installations. It performed exactly as I expected during installation, and I would use it again for similar projects.

Specialty wire. That's what this is and why it tends to be expensive. Go to your local hardware store and look at the different kinds of wire and one thing should be noticeable. It's expensive. And buying the wrong kind or the wrong length can cost you even more.Too many things to cover and so little time and space. I hate long reviews so lets just do the basics.Why is it expensive, copper. Lots of pure copper and copper is expensive. That's why it gets stolen so often.So why is buying the wrong length a real problem. You think you need 20' and they sell 25', so you get that. And if your right, great. If you're wrong you can't return it once you've tried to run through the walls. So now you have left over 25' and had to buy 50'. It was cheaper by the foot to buy 50, but now you have this left over and 25' of the more expensive length.Next up is the right kind. That's where the gauge comes in. And some wire is special colors for a reason. Even the number of wires inside is important. So 14/2 is really 3 wires cause it includes a ground. But this cable is 16/2 but is only two wires. Why, cause it's special. And the wires are not black and white either. More like purple and pink. Again, why? When you run this and your normal 14/2 the sizes are not that different. but what they do and what they carry couldn't be any more different.Lights that are dimmable with a special controller use a 0-10Volt DC signal to control the lights that actually need 115Volt AC to operate. Since the wires are similar sizes, color helps you know how to wire it up.So measure twice and round up a lot so you have enough the first time and get the cheapest cost per foot when you do. This wire is safety rated and the wire gauge is more than enough for the signal running through it.

I have bought other wire from Voltic Stone and been very pleased with the quality and this wire is no exception. At the current price of 88 cents per foot for 25 feet or even cheaper in larger quantities this is a good price for the quality. It is 100 per cent copper and I know that because I tested it with a magnet and I cut into it also. I recently bought a large spool of wire from one of the big home improvement stores and thought it was solid copper but a magnet proved that it wasn't, it was only copper plated. Other wires I have bought have the labelling on the wire with obvious spelling mistakes leaving you not knowing what requirements it would meet if any. Voltic Stone's packaging always clearly defines what you are getting and the cables are labelled completely. The wire is packaged nicely and includes a bonus accessory kit with wire nuts and electrical tape. I tried it with a very inexpensive one touch wire stripper and it had trouble with the outer jacket but trimmed the inner wires easily.This 16 average wire gauge two conductor wire with no ground is designed for 0-10 volt led dimmer switching. This 16 AWG is a relatively thick, heavy-duty gauge for control signal wire, ensuring low voltage drop over longer distances. Unlike Copper-Clad Aluminum (CCA), solid copper provides superior conductivity, lower resistance, and higher reliability without the risk of brittle connections. This is a Class 3 Plenum rating. Plenum-rated cables are coated with fire-retardant materials (like Teflon or low-smoke PVC) designed to meet strict fire safety codes. They are certified for installation in "plenum spaces"—the areas in a building used for air circulation (such as drop ceilings and raised floors) where standard cords would create toxic smoke if exposed to fire. Its primary designed use is to connect compatible commercial or residential LED drivers to 0-10V wall dimmers to smoothly control lighting brightness. The 16 AWG size and CL3P rating make it perfect for running thermostat wiring through walls and ventilation spaces safely. It can be used to power and transmit basic signals for intercom systems, door locks, or alarm sensors requiring two conductors without a dedicated ground. Because of its CL3P plenum rating, you can run this wire inside commercial drop ceilings, air ducts, or residential walls without needing a protective conduit, fully satisfying building fire codes.
