Can Metra SW712-250 speaker cable be used for in-wall wiring?

Hi: I am thinking of buying this cable for in-wall wiring for my home theatre. Does anybody know if this can be used for in-wall wiring? I donot see CL2 anywhere in the specs.

Thanks
Ravi

If it is CL rated then it will say that. Run to Home Depot and get their CL-3 wire. You can get 500ft for 80 bucks.

12gauge 500ft for 80 bucks?

It's 14 gauge. I have it in my house on two different long runs and it works great. It is a little stiff though.

CL2 or higher is required for in-wall wiring to be code compliant. So CL3 or CM is also acceptable.
