Home runs that stretch across a large yard or carry a cluster of up lights need a heavier conductor than a short path light loop. The CLS LLC14500 is a 500 foot roll of 14/2 landscape cable with solid copper conductors, rated for direct burial without conduit.
When should I step up from 16 to 14 gauge?
When the run is long or the load on it is heavy enough that voltage drop starts to show at the last fixtures. A 14 gauge conductor carries more wattage farther before the drop becomes noticeable, which keeps the end of the run looking like the beginning.
Why buy cable by the 500 foot roll?
On larger properties and commercial grounds, a full roll lets you pull several runs from one spool with fewer splices, and leaves cable on hand for later additions.
Is the jacket rated for outdoor exposure?
The jacket is sunlight resistant PVC, and the insulation over the copper conductors is flame retardant PVC. CLS rates the cable for direct burial without conduit.
