Premium Speaker Cable
Twist and Tangle Free Payout Performance
Developed in Australia by a team of audio professionals, Tierium speaker cable has been designed to optimise the installation process. Adopting the Reelex™ patented winding pattern, all Tierium products ensure the cable is dispensed from the reel-less box, snag and tangle free for optimum cable payout performance.
Tierium's reel-less design means no moving internal spool for cable to unwind within the box. Tierium speaker cable is made from 99.99% oxygen free annealed copper for superior performance and cable flexibility and its Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) cable jacket makes it free from unsafe halogens and reduces smoke for added safety in both commercial and residential installations.

How to Purchase Custom Lengths
Please select the "1m (By The Metre)" option, then enter the required length in the "Qty" field and press the "Add to Cart" button. For example, if you require 5m, please enter "5" in the "Qty" field and press the "Add to Cart" button. This will be supplied as a single 5m length in this instance.
We kindly ask that you do not request multiple custom lengths to be cut for the same speaker cable specification on the same order, such as "1 x 2m and 3 x 3m etc.". Unfortunately, this cannot be provided. All custom lengths will be supplied as a single uncut length.
REELEX™ Patented Winding Pattern
Tangle and Twist-Free Packaging Technology.
REELEX tangle-free technology is a patented method of winding a filamentary product (such as cord, wire, cable or tubing) into a figure-eight coil on a specialized coiling machine.
This unique coil dispenses from the inside-out without twists, tangles, snags or overruns. Because the coil does not rotate during payout, there is no inertia, and thus no need for payoff stands or brakes. And since the coil does not require any moving parts as a means of dispensing the product, it may be packaged in a wide variety of package shapes and materials, or simply placed in a cardboard box.
REELEX™ Packaging
Because the REELEX™ coil does not rotate, products wound in REELEX™ do not depend on the package itself to dispense properly. Thus, the package is literally just a container, allowing the coil to be packaged in a unlimited number of designs and materials. This flexibility allows manufacturers to present their products in unique and innovative ways; providing opportunities for product differentiation and competitive advantage.
Low Smoke Zero Halogen
What is LSZH?
LSZH stands for Low Smoke Zero Halogen. It refers to a group of jacket and insulation compounds that do not contain halogens within their chemical makeup.
What are the benefits of having LSZH cable?
LSZH compounds contain no halogens and instead rely on releasing water or other non-toxic compounds in order to put out a flame. As a result, they are safer for both people and the environment.
Where are LSZH cables predominantly used?
LSZH cables can be used anywhere a normal cable can be used. Typically they are of greater benefit in indoor or restricted spaces where their low toxicity in a fire is a great benefit. This means that they often find use in tunnels, offices, exchanges and datacentres.
What about PVC?
When PVC burns, it releases Chlorine which is now free to combine with hydrogen to form an acid. This acid can burn lungs and eyes of people trying to flee the fire. It can also attack equipment that was not destroyed in the fire. Historical experience has shown that equipment located several rooms or floors away from a small fire can fail many months later due to attack by either halogen acids or salts.
Can I still achieve my Green Star credits with LSZH?
Yes, LSZH cables are suitable for Green Star applications.
