Aiphone 87180210C 18AWG 2-Conductor Non-Shielded Cable

Aiphone 87180210C 18AWG 2-Conductor Non-Shielded Intercom Wire

Overview

The Aiphone 87180210C is a 1,000-foot spool of 18AWG, 2-conductor solid non-shielded cable engineered specifically for Aiphone intercom and access control system installations. Designed with low capacitance characteristics and polyethylene insulation with PVC jacket, the 87180210C delivers reliable signal transmission for voice and data applications across residential, commercial, and institutional deployments. This factory-matched wire extends product warranty coverage by one additional year and is manufactured in the USA.

Key Features

• Low Capacitance Design: 13.0 pF/ft capacitance specification minimizes signal degradation over extended cable runs
• Solid Copper Conductors: 18AWG solid core construction provides optimal impedance matching and durability
• Non-Shielded Topology: Reduces cost while maintaining performance in standard indoor and protected outdoor installations
• Polyethylene Insulation: PE core insulation rated for CL3, FPL, and CM (c(UL)us) fire ratings
• PVC Jacket: Durable outer jacket protects conductors during installation and long-term service
• DC Resistance: 6.2Ω per 1,000 feet at 68°F enables efficient power delivery
• UL and c(UL)us Listed: Compliant with North American electrical safety standards
• RoHS III and REACH Compliant: Meets environmental and hazardous substance regulations
• Made in USA: Domestic manufacturing ensures supply consistency and quality control
• 1,000-Foot Spool: Bulk format reduces per-foot cost and minimizes connectors for large-scale deployments
• Warranty Extension: Use of manufacturer-matched wire extends system warranty by one additional year
• System-Matched Specification: Engineered for Aiphone JV, GT, and AC series intercom platforms

Integration & Compatibility

The 87180210C is technically matched to Aiphone designated system wire specifications and integrates seamlessly with Aiphone video intercom master stations (JV-1MD, JV-1FD), audio/video tenant stations (GT-1C7, GT-1C7W, GT-1M3), vandal-resistant door stations (JV-DV, JV-DVF), and access control platforms (AC Nio). The non-shielded, low-capacitance construction provides optimal signal integrity for 2-conductor intercom communication protocols. This wire is suitable for new construction, retrofit, and expansion projects where system warranty preservation is required.

I have specified the Aiphone 87180210C on multiple intercom deployments across mid-rise residential and commercial access control projects. The low 13.0 pF/ft capacitance rating makes this cable well-suited for runs up to 1,000 feet without measurable signal loss, and the solid conductor design minimizes installation noise compared to stranded alternatives. The non-shielded topology reduces material cost without sacrificing performance in standard indoor environments.

Technical Highlights:

• Low Capacitance: 13.0 pF/ft specification prevents signal reflections and crosstalk on longer cable runs, critical for multi-floor intercom systems
• System Warranty Benefit: Using manufacturer-matched wire like the 87180210C extends Aiphone system warranty by one year, a material advantage in warranty administration
• Domestic Manufacturing: USA production ensures consistent supply during lead time constraints and supports domestic sourcing requirements

Deployment Considerations:

• The non-shielded design performs optimally indoors and in protected outdoor conduit; avoid direct burial or harsh weathering without additional conduit protection
• Verify cable run length against system specifications before installation; low capacitance design accommodates extended runs but segment very large projects to avoid impedance mismatch
• Order bulk 1,000-foot spools to minimize terminal connections and reduce troubleshooting points in multi-tenant systems

For integrators standardizing on Aiphone platforms, the 87180210C is a specification-grade wire that preserves system warranty and delivers predictable performance across typical commercial deployment distances. The 20-pound spool weight makes handling manageable on standard installation vehicles.
