RE: Impact of jumpers

A 5 meter (16 foot) run while not optimum is under the maximum advisable length based on practical guidelines for a 14 AWG speaker cable. However, for a length over 10 feet, I would recommend doubling the cable cross section (11 AWG) by selecting a 4-conductor cable such as the Cardas Crosslink 1S rather than the 2-conductor Cardas 101. Cardas Crosslink 1S would also provide lower inductance when wired cross connected (star quad) instead of that of a twisted pair such as the Cardas 101.
