Aiphone 85220710C – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Aiphone 85220710C cable the right wire for an MC Series intercom system?
Yes. The 85220710C is a 7-conductor 22AWG low capacitance cable with color coded conductors specifically matched to the MC Series, and Aiphone states it is technically matched to the designated system's wire specifications. Using it keeps conductor colors consistent between the master station and door stations so you are not tracing wires by hand.
2) Can Aiphone 85220710C be run in plenum spaces or riser?
No plenum rating applies here. The 85220710C carries a (UL) CL3 and FPL rating plus c(UL)us CM. CL3 and CM are general purpose cable ratings, so for plenum air handling spaces you need a separately rated plenum cable. The jacket is PVC with foamed polyethylene insulation.
3) Do I need shielded cable for an intercom run, or is this non-shielded cable enough?
The 85220710C is non-shielded and low capacitance at 16.5 pF/ft. Aiphone's low capacitance construction is what controls signal degradation on long audio and video intercom runs rather than a shield. Where you are running alongside high voltage or in a heavy EMI environment, a shielded Aiphone cable is the better choice; for standard separated low voltage pathways this non-shielded cable is what Aiphone specifies.
4) How long a run can I get out of 22AWG Aiphone cable before voltage drop is a problem?
Use the published DC resistance to work it out: the 85220710C measures 17.5 ohms per 1000 feet at 68 degrees F. Double that for the round trip on a two-wire power leg, so a 1000 foot run puts roughly 35 ohms in the loop. Compare that against the current draw and minimum voltage of the door station you are feeding to confirm the run length.
5) Is this Aiphone wire approved for commercial building installs?
Yes. The 85220710C is classed as commercial grade, it is UL and c(UL)us listed, and it is RoHS III and REACH compliant. It is also made in the USA, which matters on public sector and institutional jobs with domestic sourcing requirements.
6) Where do I find the full wire spec sheet for Aiphone 85220710C?
Aiphone publishes a technical sheet for the cable covering the electrical and construction data. It is linked from the product's technical sheet PDF field, alongside the headline numbers: 22AWG, 7 conductors, 16.5 pF/ft capacitance, 17.5 ohms per 1000 feet DC resistance, foamed polyethylene insulation, PVC jacket.
