Aiphone 86221025C – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Aiphone 86221025C wire the right cable for an NHX Series intercom system?
Yes. The 86221025C is a 5 pair, 22 AWG shielded low capacitance cable with color coded pairs matched to the NHX Series, and it is technically matched to the designated system's wire specifications. The low capacitance construction (12.1 pF/ft) is what keeps audio and data clean over long station runs, which is why generic 22 AWG station wire is not a like-for-like substitute.
2) Can this Aiphone intercom cable be run in a commercial building's plenum or riser?
The cable carries (UL) CL3, CM and FPL ratings with c(UL)us listing, and the jacket is PVC over foamed polyethylene insulation. CL3 and CM cover general purpose and Class 3 remote control and signaling use; it is not a plenum rated cable, so any air handling space run needs a plenum type cable or conduit instead.
3) Does the shield on this Aiphone cable need to be grounded at both ends?
The 86221025C uses twisted pairs with an overall shield, which is the construction that rejects noise from nearby power and lighting circuits. Standard practice with an overall shield is to terminate it at one end only, at the master or power supply, and leave it isolated at the station end so you do not create a ground loop. Follow the wiring diagram for the system you are feeding.
4) Is the Aiphone 86221025C wire rated for residential or commercial installs?
It is classed as a commercial product and is the wire used on Aiphone entry and intercom systems in multi-family, institutional and office buildings. Nothing stops it being used in a single family home, but the specs, listings and pair count are aimed at commercial system runs.
5) Where do I find the full spec sheet for Aiphone 86221025C cable?
Aiphone publishes a technical sheet for the 86221025C covering the electrical and material specs: foamed polyethylene insulation, PVC jacket, 12.1 pF/ft capacitance, 16.1 ohms per 1000 feet DC resistance at 68 degrees F, and the (UL) CL3, CM, FPL c(UL)us ratings. The PDF is linked from the product's technical sheet reference.
