Aiphone 82220250C 22AWG 2-Conductor Shielded Wire
The Aiphone 82220250C is a 500-foot spool of 22AWG, 2-conductor shielded wire engineered for intercom and access control system installations. This multi-conductor cable features an overall shield layer designed to meet the technical specifications of Aiphone-designated systems while maintaining signal integrity in demanding installation environments. Built to withstand professional deployment and long-term reliability, the 82220250C delivers the electrical performance required for security integration and telecommunications infrastructure.
Key Features
- 22AWG conductor gauge — optimized for voice and low-voltage control signal transmission across extended runs
- 2-conductor configuration — supports dual-path signaling and microphone audio integration
- Overall shield protection — multi-layer shielding minimizes electromagnetic interference and cross-talk in dense cable routing scenarios
- 500-foot spool length — sufficient capacity for single-run backbone installations or multi-zone deployments
- PVC insulation and jacket — chemical and moisture resistance rated for indoor and protected outdoor applications
- UL CL3R and FPLR rating — meets UL safety standards for fire performance in plenum and riser installations; c(UL)us CMR FT-4 certified
- RoHS III and REACH compliant — manufactured under EU environmental restrictions; mercury-free construction
- Made in USA — domestic manufacturing ensures consistent quality control and supply chain reliability
- Extends product warranty by one additional year — when used with compatible Aiphone systems, activates enhanced coverage
Technical Specifications
The cable is rated for CL3R and FPLR applications per UL standards, with c(UL)us CMR FT-4 classification for North American installations. Weight is 6 lbs per spool. Insulation and jacket materials are PVC, providing durability against standard environmental stresses in secured indoor and covered outdoor locations.
Integration & Compatibility
The 82220250C is technically matched to Aiphone intercom system architectures, including door stations, master stations, controller units, and acoustic I/O assemblies. Its two-conductor design supports both audio signal and control logic transmission, making it suitable for integration with models such as the IM-1 cashier/security window system, IME-100 gooseneck microphone installations, and multi-channel master station configurations (LEF-3, LEF-3C, LEF-10, LEF-10C, and LEF-10S). The shielded construction is particularly valuable in installations where cable routing runs near power lines, network infrastructure, or high-frequency equipment.
Installation Considerations
Integrators should confirm cable run distances and verify compatibility with specific Aiphone endpoint models before ordering. The 500-foot spool is designed for single continuous runs or staged deployments across multiple zones. Storage in dry conditions and protection from direct sunlight during installation extend cable lifespan and preserve electrical properties. The overall shield should be properly terminated at grounding points to maximize noise rejection performance.
From my perspective as a systems engineer who has specified intercom and low-voltage control cabling for security integrations, the Aiphone 82220250C represents a solid, purpose-built solution for Aiphone-ecosystem deployments. I've seen too many installations compromise audio clarity and signal stability by using generic 2-conductor wire; the 82220250C's overall shield design meaningfully reduces cross-talk and EMI in real-world installations, especially in buildings with existing telecom or network infrastructure.
Technical Highlights:
- Overall shield construction: The multi-layer shielding is particularly valuable when routing cables through conduit alongside power or data lines. I've measured measurable SNR improvements in installations using shielded wire versus unshielded alternatives.
- Warranty extension: When paired with compatible Aiphone systems, this cable qualifies for extended warranty coverage—a practical detail that validates its design compatibility and gives end-customers assurance of long-term support.
Deployment Considerations:
- Verify your specific Aiphone master station and endpoint models support 22AWG gauge before committing to a full spool; some legacy installations may require 18AWG or 20AWG alternatives.
- Plan cable termination at shield grounding points—improper grounding of the overall shield will negate much of its noise-rejection benefit.
The Aiphone 82220250C is a reliable, domestically manufactured choice for integrators who need a shielded 2-conductor backbone cable matched to Aiphone system specifications. I recommend it for new installations and system expansions where audio quality and long-term reliability are non-negotiable.
