The IPW-1VC is an analog-to-IP converter set that utilizes 2-conductor copper wire to connect a network intercom station. The set includes an ethernet-to-UTP (untwisted pair) transmitter and receiver along with two RJ45-to-2- wire converters and a power supply for the receiver. The set will work on 22 ~ 18AWG shielded or unshielded wire. The quantity of master stations that can be called will be dependent on the wire distance and type of station being used (audio or video). The PoE pass‑through feature on select IX Series stations is not supported and will not function when using the IPW-1VC.
FEATURES
• Works with existing 2-conductor wire
• Supplies PoE to station
• LED indicators for status

Aiphone IPW-1VC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can I run an Aiphone IP intercom station over the existing 2-conductor wire already in my building?
That is exactly what the IPW-1VC is built for. It is an analog-to-IP converter set that carries a network intercom station over 2-conductor copper wire, so you do not have to pull new Cat5/Cat6 to the door. The set works on 22 to 18 AWG wire, shielded or unshielded. How many master stations can be called depends on the wire run distance and whether the station is audio or video.
2) What comes in the Aiphone IPW-1VC kit, or do I need to buy two of them for a single run?
One IPW-1VC covers a complete run. The set includes an ethernet-to-UTP transmitter and a receiver, two RJ45-to-2-wire converters, and a power supply for the receiver. You do not order a separate head end and field end.
3) Does the IPW-1VC power the intercom station, or do I need a separate PoE injector at the door?
The converter supplies PoE to the station at the far end, so no local power or separate injector is needed at the door. The included power supply feeds the receiver side.
4) I'm daisy-chaining a second IX station off the PoE pass-through port. Will that still work through the IPW-1VC?
No. The PoE pass-through feature on select IX Series stations does not function when the station is fed through an IPW-1VC. If your design relies on pass-through to power a downstream device, you need a different wiring approach for that leg.
5) Will the IPW-1VC support a video door station, or is it audio only?
It handles video stations, and that is what the VC designation refers to. Keep in mind the number of master stations that can be called off one run varies with the wire distance and whether the station is audio or video, since video needs more bandwidth over the same copper.
6) Do I need shielded cable for an IPW-1VC run, or is plain 2-conductor fine?
Either works. The set runs on 22 to 18 AWG copper, shielded or unshielded, which is why it suits older intercom pairs that were never spec'd as data cable. Achievable distance still depends on the wire, so the run length drives how many master stations can be reached.
7) Is the Aiphone IPW-1VC suitable for a commercial building install?
It is classified as a commercial product and is used on commercial network intercom systems. Typical applications are retrofits in offices, multi-family, schools, and healthcare where legacy 2-wire intercom cabling is already in the walls and the owner is moving to an IP system.
8) How do I tell if the IPW-1VC link is actually up during commissioning?
The units carry LED status indicators, so you can confirm link and power at both ends on site instead of trying to diagnose from the head end. That matters on retrofit runs where the existing 2-wire pair may be longer or in worse condition than the drawings suggest.
