Aiphone 851602DBW10C Direct Burial Cable
The Aiphone 851602DBW10C is a professional-grade, direct burial cable engineered for long-distance intercom system installations where underground routing is required. This 1000-foot spool delivers the robust construction and reliable signal transmission essential for secure access control and intercom infrastructure deployments.
Overview
Direct burial cable installations are a critical component of comprehensive security and communication systems. The model 851602DBW10C provides a cost-effective cabling solution for integrators planning multi-building campuses, residential communities, or facilities where above-ground cable routing is not feasible. The direct burial rating eliminates the need for additional conduit protection, streamlining installation labor and reducing material overhead on large projects.
Key Features
- 2-Conductor Configuration: Supports two-wire signaling typical of Aiphone intercom systems and access control circuits
- 16 AWG Wire Gauge: Provides appropriate current capacity for control signals and audio transmission over extended distances
- Direct Burial Rated: Engineered to withstand soil contact, moisture exposure, and ground temperature cycling without degradation
- 1000-Foot Spool: Single convenient reel eliminates splicing on large deployments, reducing connection points and potential failure modes
- Professional Installation Grade: Meets specifications for permanent intercom and access control system installations
- UV and Moisture Resistant Jacket: Designed for prolonged exposure to environmental conditions typical of buried cable runs
Typical Applications
The 851602DBW10C cable is commonly specified for:
- Multi-unit residential intercom systems with distributed outdoor entry stations
- Campus-wide access control networks requiring underground cable distribution
- Industrial facilities with separated buildings requiring intercom connectivity
- Gated communities and security checkpoints with remote speaker/microphone units
- Educational institutions deploying communication infrastructure across grounds
Installation Considerations
Direct burial cable installation requires proper trench preparation and burial depth to protect against mechanical damage. Verify local electrical and utility codes before digging. Coordinate with facility management to identify and mark existing underground utilities. Cable run planning should account for the 1000-foot length to minimize waste and ensure adequate slack at termination points. Proper grounding and shielding practices at cable terminations help maintain signal integrity over long runs.
The 851602DBW10C integrates with standard Aiphone intercom system wiring practices and supports both audio and control signal transmission. Consult your system documentation for proper termination and impedance matching requirements specific to your intercom or access control hardware.
