Aiphone 87180450C – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What wire does Aiphone specify for intercom system runs?
The Aiphone 87180450C is a 4-conductor, 18 AWG solid-core low capacitance cable made specifically to meet Aiphone system specifications, sold in a 500 foot spool. The low capacitance, non-shielded construction is what keeps audio and video signalling clean over a long station run. If you're wiring an Aiphone intercom and want the cable the system was engineered around, this is it rather than generic 18/4 alarm cable.
2) Can this Aiphone 18/4 cable be run inside a commercial building's walls and plenum-adjacent risers?
The 87180450C carries (UL) CL3, FPL, and c(UL)us CM ratings, so it is listed for Class 3 remote control and signalling wiring and for power-limited fire alarm circuits. Jacket is PVC over polyethylene insulation. Those are the listings your inspector will look for on a general-purpose in-wall communications run. It is not a plenum-rated cable, so anywhere your local code calls for CMP, this is the wrong cable.
3) How long a run can I get out of Aiphone 87180450C 18AWG intercom wire?
Work it from the two numbers Aiphone publishes on the 87180450C: capacitance of 14.1 pF per foot and DC resistance of 6.2 ohms per 1000 feet at 68 degrees F. Your Aiphone station's install manual gives a maximum loop resistance or distance per wire gauge, and those two figures are what you check it against. At 6.2 ohms per 1000 feet, a 500 foot spool run out and back is roughly 6.2 ohms of loop resistance. Low capacitance is the reason this cable stretches farther than ordinary 18/4 before the audio degrades.
4) Do I need shielded cable for an Aiphone intercom, or is non-shielded okay?
Non-shielded is what Aiphone builds this cable as, and the 87180450C is technically matched to Aiphone system specs. The noise control here comes from the low capacitance construction (14.1 pF/ft), not from a shield. Where shielding matters is if you're pulling alongside line-voltage or motor loads; standard practice is to keep separation from power runs rather than to swap in shielded cable. If your specific Aiphone door station manual calls out a shielded cable, follow the manual for that station.
5) Is solid conductor wire a problem for terminating at Aiphone screw terminals?
Solid 18 AWG is the easier conductor at a screw or clamp terminal, which is most of what an Aiphone station uses. Strip, land it, tighten. The tradeoff is flex: solid core does not tolerate repeated bending, so it belongs in a fixed in-wall or conduit pull, not in a door leaf, a hinge transfer, or anywhere that moves. For those transitions you want a stranded jumper, not this cable.
6) Is Aiphone 87180450C wire made in the USA and RoHS compliant for a government or institutional spec?
Made in the USA, RoHS III and REACH compliant, and UL and c(UL)us listed. That combination is what most public agency, healthcare, and education procurement packages want documented on a communications cable, and the c(UL)us mark covers you for Canadian installations on the same part number.
7) Is Aiphone 871804 the same wire as 87180450C?
They are the same 4-conductor 18 AWG Aiphone low cap cable, referenced as 871804 and 871804P50C in Aiphone's own naming. Order against 87180450C when you want the 500 foot spool. If your submittal or a previous PO shows 871804, this is the part that fills it.
8) Where do I get the full electrical specs for Aiphone 87180450C low cap wire?
Aiphone publishes a technical sheet for this cable at https://zensupply.com/content/pdf/aiphone/technical-sheet-ba7057.pdf. The headline numbers you'll usually need on a submittal are already here: 18 AWG solid, 4 conductors, polyethylene insulation with a PVC jacket, 14.1 pF/ft capacitance, 6.2 ohms per 1000 feet at 68 degrees F, and (UL) CL3 / FPL / c(UL)us CM ratings.
