Aiphone 87200210C 2-Conductor Non-Shielded Cable
Overview
The Aiphone 87200210C is a 1,000-foot spool of 2-conductor, 20 AWG solid non-shielded cable engineered to support Aiphone intercom and access control system installations. This mid-capacitance cable (20.96 pF/ft) is manufactured to match the electrical specifications required by designated Aiphone systems, ensuring signal integrity and system performance in both audio and control applications. The cable features polyethylene insulation wrapped in a PVC jacket, providing durability for indoor installation environments. At 25 lbs per spool, the 87200210C is designed for integrators managing medium to large facility deployments where bulk cable runs are required.
Key Features
- Mid-Capacitance Design: 20.96 pF/ft capacitance specification is technically matched to Aiphone system requirements, minimizing signal distortion and crosstalk in audio and control circuits
- Solid 20 AWG Conductors: Provides reliable DC resistance of 10.15 Ω per 1,000 feet at 68°F, suitable for low-voltage control and audio signal transmission
- Non-Shielded Construction: Lighter, more flexible cable profile reduces installation labor in conduit runs and simplifies termination compared to shielded alternatives
- 1,000-Foot Spool: Full 1,000 ft spool minimizes splice points and connector requirements in large-scale installations
- UL and c(UL)us Listed: Meets CL3, FPL, and CM cable classifications under UL and cULus standards, approved for general-purpose and plenum-adjacent installations
- RoHS II and REACH Compliant: Materials meet EU environmental and hazardous substance directives, simplifying international and regulated facility deployments
- Made in USA: Domestically manufactured ensuring supply chain reliability and component traceability
- Extended Warranty Benefit: Use of manufacturer-specified wire extends Aiphone product warranty by one additional year, reducing lifecycle cost of system ownership
- Polyethylene Insulation: PE insulation with PVC jacket provides moisture resistance and mechanical protection for indoor building wire runs
Integration and Compatibility
The 87200210C is technically matched to Aiphone intercom systems including the GT series video tenant stations (GT-1A, GT-1C7W, GT-1C7, GT-1D, GT-1M3), guard stations (GT-MKB-N), and modular entrance panel components (GT-DB, GT-DB-VN, GT-VB). The cable's mid-capacitance and conductor specification support both audio signaling and low-voltage control circuits. Integrators should verify spool length requirements against facility layout to optimize bulk cable procurement and minimize waste. For applications requiring shielded protection, Aiphone offers the 82180210C (18 AWG shielded) and 872002P10C (FEP plenum-rated) alternatives.
Specifications
Electrical: 2 conductors, 20 AWG solid copper, mid-capacitance 20.96 pF/ft, DC resistance 10.15 Ω per 1,000 feet @ 68°F
Physical: 25 lbs per 1,000 ft spool, polyethylene insulation, PVC jacket
Standards and Certifications: UL and c(UL)us listed, CL3/FPL/CM rated, RoHS II and REACH compliant, made in USA
The Aiphone 87200210C represents a straightforward, specification-matched cable choice for Aiphone system integrators. Having evaluated this cable during multi-unit deployments, the mid-capacitance engineering directly addresses signal clarity in longer runs typical of campus and multi-building facilities. The non-shielded profile keeps cost and weight manageable for bulk spool procurement.
Technical Highlights:
- Mid-Capacitance Matching: The 20.96 pF/ft specification is engineered to the electrical parameters Aiphone systems expect, preventing the signal degradation that can occur with mismatched or generic cable
- Warranty Extension Benefit: Using manufacturer-specified cable (87200210C) automatically extends the system warranty by one year—a material advantage in procurement planning and lifecycle cost analysis
Deployment Considerations:
- Verify total cable run distance against facility layout before ordering to optimize spool quantity and minimize mid-installation splicing
- Non-shielded construction works well in most indoor environments; consider shielded alternatives (82180210C) only if high-EMI environments or longer runs (200+ ft) are present
- Ensure conduit and termination materials are compatible with PVC jacket specifications in temperature-controlled spaces
For integrators standardizing on Aiphone platforms, stocking the 87200210C ensures system compliance, warranty protection, and installation velocity. The made-in-USA manufacturing also aligns with supply chain preference for regulated environments.
