Although the photo and description indicate that connectors are included, that appears not to be the case. I ordered the wire and got no connectors. I contacted Amazon and they said they couldn't send a partial replacement. They had to send the whole deal (wire and connectors) then, once I got the package, I was to return the wire to them. Kind of a hassle.

I got the second shipment and guess what - no connectors! So I closed up the box, stuck on the return labels, and sent it back to Amazon. I told them not to bother sending me any thing more. I was done with this order.

Bottom line, the price should be lowered or at least the description and photo should be changed. Or there's a problem in shipping. Whatever the case, I didn't get what I thought I should.

The wire itself seems fine although both wires are the same color. The only way to tell one from the other is some very tiny, black plus symbols printed on one side every so often. Took me a while to realize they were there and I found them hard to see while I was wiring things up.

100 feet was just barely enough to wire up a 5-speaker surround system in a 12'x12' room. I could have used 105'.

3.0 out of 5 stars NOT 16 gauge or Flat, December 5, 2010

This wire is usable ... but NOT flat ... actually quite bulky. It is also very fine stranded wire and NOT 16 gauge. That is likely why it is so cheap. I had some flexible, clear, 18/2 AR wire which was really very good for "thin wire". In this case you get what you get pay for ... cheap wire.

This is the second time that I have purchased this same item from Amazon.com. With each purchase, the eight banana pins was not included with the wire as shown in the picture and as outlined in the item description. Amazon is falsely advertising this item. As a result of the banana pins not being included as shown, it has cost me an additional expense to complete my project.
