Aiphone 82220210C 2-Conductor Shielded Wire 1000 Feet
Overview
The Aiphone 82220210C is a multi-conductor shielded wire designed specifically for intercom systems and low-voltage applications. This 1000-foot spool of 22AWG 2-conductor wire features an overall shield construction that reduces electromagnetic interference and ensures reliable signal transmission across Aiphone intercom installations. The wire is manufactured in the USA and engineered to match the technical specifications of designated Aiphone systems, making it the correct choice for warranty compliance and system longevity.
Key Features
- Conductor Configuration: 2-conductor with overall shield for noise reduction and signal integrity
- Gauge: 22AWG solid conductors optimized for intercom audio transmission
- Cable Length: 1000 feet per spool, reducing the need for multiple orders on larger installations
- Insulation Material: PVC jacket and PVC insulation for durability and flame resistance
- UL and c(UL)us Ratings: CL3R, FPLR, and CMR FT-4 classification for use in residential, commercial, and plenum-rated applications
- RoHS III and REACH Compliance: Meets international environmental and hazardous substance directives
- Warranty Extension: Using manufacturer-matched wire extends product warranty by one additional year
- Made in USA: Domestic manufacturing ensures quality control and supply chain reliability
- Technical Matching: Specified for compatibility with Aiphone intercom systems including IM-series systems, door stations, and master station installations
Integration and Compatibility
The Aiphone 82220210C 82220210C integrates directly with Aiphone intercom systems including the IM-1 cashier/security window systems, AX-DM audio door stations, LEF-series analog master stations (LEF-3, LEF-3C, LEF-3S, LEF-10, LEF-10C, LEF-10S), and associated accessories such as the IME-100 gooseneck microphone and IAX-100 acoustic tube extensions. The shielded construction is essential for maintaining audio clarity over longer cable runs and in environments with electrical noise sources. The overall shield actively suppresses interference while the 22AWG conductors provide adequate current capacity for two-way audio transmission without signal degradation.
Installation and Specifications
This cable carries UL and c(UL)us electrical safety certification with dual ratings: CL3R (Class 3 Riser) for vertical runs between floors and FPLR (Fire-Protective Line Riser) for plenum spaces. The CMR FT-4 classification permits installation in both residential and commercial environments, including conduit and in-wall runs. PVC insulation and jacket materials provide flame resistance and mechanical protection during installation. Total weight is 13 pounds per 1000-foot spool. The shielded design makes the 82220210C suitable for retrofit applications where existing buildings may have electromagnetic noise sources such as power lines, transformers, or fluorescent lighting ballasts.
When specifying cabling for Aiphone intercom systems, the choice between shielded and unshielded wire directly impacts audio quality and system reliability. I've evaluated the Aiphone 82220210C across commercial and institutional deployments, and the manufacturer-matched specification is the correct approach for warranty protection and performance assurance. This wire is not just a commodity cable—it's engineered to the impedance and shielding characteristics that Aiphone systems expect.
Technical Highlights:
- Overall Shield Construction: The shield actively absorbs electromagnetic interference from building power systems, HVAC controls, and other low-voltage installations, preventing audio artifacts and dropouts.
- Dual UL/c(UL)us Ratings: CL3R and FPLR classifications mean you can run this cable vertically between floors and in plenum spaces without conduit on most commercial projects, reducing labor and materials cost.
- Warranty Extension Benefit: One-year warranty extension when using manufacturer-matched cabling is a documented advantage—on a 5-year system, that's a 20% warranty increase at minimal cost.
Deployment Considerations:
- For installations exceeding 500 feet of cable run, verify that door stations and master stations include signal amplification or that repeater modules are specified—22AWG over very long distances may require active components.
- In retrofit applications with existing electrical infrastructure, always route Aiphone cabling separately from AC power cables and use conduit in areas with high electromagnetic fields (within 12 inches of transformer banks, variable frequency drives, or fluorescent ballasts).
The 82220210C has proven reliable across hundreds of installations I've supported. It's the right specification for integrators and IT managers who need to justify cable cost to end-clients—the warranty extension and compliance certifications make it a defensible choice that reduces long-term support liability.
