Cables and Connectors for custom installation  

Why Use Straight Wire Custom Installation Cables?
 

Regardless of the quality of your home entertainment components, inferior cables tend to crack, corrode, shorten the life of your amplifier/receiver and may require replacement. It is quite costly to rerun cables through finished construction. We exceed basic building code standards based upon our experience in the field and have the right cable to meet your budget. 

 

 

PUSH PRONG SYSTEM

The innovative “Push-Prong” Plugs were developed by Steven Hill, President of Straight Wire, based upon the growing demand for terminating custom cables in the field, quickly and with no solder. The popular compression plugs are not re-usable, so if the installer makes a mistake – they must cut off and waste the plug. The Straight Wire patent-pending “Push-Prong” Plugs can be re-used by simply unscrewing the barrel and bending out the prongs to remove the cable, cut to length and re-terminate.

The plugs are designed to work best with any solid conductor 23 AWG coax – a broadcast industry standard. Straight Wire offers a full line of premium silver plated 23 gauge coax cables – single, double (Siamese), triple (parallel) and their winning Silver series under a round jacket including 2,3,5 and 5 coaxes with a two Cat5E cables

SPEAKER CABLES

WaveGuide Series 

WaveGuide series speaker cables offer a significant upgrade for all CL3 custom speaker installations. No other upgrade offers such a significant performance increase for so little additional cost. Waveguide series conductors are twisted and contain high grade OFC vs. standard electrolytic tough pitch (ETP) copper. Mylar wrappings around the conductors maintain mechanical and electrical consistency for accuracy over long runs. 

The result is a significant increase in bass and high frequency clarity, with an overall reduction in background noise and resistance. Available in four different versions, Straight Wire's WaveGuide cables allow you to enjoy all the quality that your new components are capable of delivering. 
 WaveGuide 1.5  16 gauge, 2 conductors.
 Waveguide 2  14 gauge, 2 conductors.
 WaveGuide 3  16 gauge, 4 conductors.
 WaveGuide 3.5  14 gauge, 4 conductors.

These cables allow more music to reach your speakers through the use of low dielectric constant insulation. Available in assorted colors to match your decor. Contact your installation specialist to choose the right Waveguide for your needs.
