    CST-2120 transformer module with the jumper cable that shipped with the CST-2120 transformer module, see Figure 2.5.1. JBL recommends using pre-built or professionally wired, high-quality, two-conductor, heavy gauge speaker wire. Speakers wires should be twisted cable, if possible. To prevent the possibility of short-circuits, the wires should be stripped back no greater than 6 mm (1/4 inch), see Figure 2.5.2.
